This Easter Becky & I thought we would join my parents & take Amie to Sydney with them for Easter. So we packed our bags, including Amie's pink suit case and jumped on a plane to Sydney. We stayed with some family friends over there in the suburb of Panania, which I think is South West Sydney. Becky wanted to hit all the shops so on various days we caught the train into town and walked about the place. I have to admit that their rail system is very efficient, Auckland could learn a lot from it.
We took Amie to the Zoo and the Aquarium in Darling Harbour & from what we could tell she had a great time.
My Dad hired a large 7 seater wagon and we all piled into it and headed up the line to a little town called Mudgee. It was quite a cool little town and didn't take long to navigate though it's entirity. The next day via a local vineyard we all headed to a town called Gulgong and visited a Museum thats showed off everything old about Gulgong. It was actually really interesting.
After this Becky & I decided that we would like to go out on our own for an evening so after getting back to Sydney we traded the wagon for a smaller car and headed down to Wollongong. I had splashed out and hired a GPS for the trip and fell in love with it. This thing was amazing. Anyway after spending a night there at the advice of the Thorpes we headed further inland to a little town called Berry for a pie. Becky actaully thought the pie was the best she had ever eaten.
On the way home Becky decided that she wanted to visit Miranda Fair which is this huge mall near Cronulla, so with the help of my best friend (GPS) we made our way to the mall and then on to IKea at Homebush.
Anway I'm most likely boring you now with our holiday so I'll leave it here. I'll post some photos for those who are interested or not friends with me on facebook.
In two weeks Amie turns 1. I'm actually struggling to see where the last year has gone. Becky is throwing Amie a party & brunch at her Mum & Dad's place with a fairy theme. & No I'm not dressing up as a fairy.
Well I'm running out of things to say so I'll get to the photos.
