The Isle Of Wight was a bit weird all round really! Not as I remember it 8 years ago - I was obviously in a 'different place' back then - I didn't find it as charming as before, but then I am prone to looking at the world through rose-tinted specs.... Some bits were very lovely, but there were many more places billed as 'a fantastic island attraction' which cost a bomb and occupied only about 2 hours max! Still, got away with paying for Oliver at most places due to his smallness and under 5 appearance, and my utter deception. No, I don't feel guilty - I'm sure I am being perpetually ripped off right left & centre in this country entertainment-wise.
And, turning 40 felt very, very weird. I have always looked at myself a certain way, kind of had my own 'impression' of myself, but it never included being old enough to have to realise I am inescapably an adult. I know that doesn't make sense. It just feels too odd to get my head around...

I felt that way about 30. Actually I first felt it at 25 when we had a Volvo estate, as I was convinced it was still the sort of car my parents would drive, and not the sort of car for me! Glad you had a good time away, anyway :)
