Mothers Day

We had a long weekend this weekend celebrating all the Mums in my life. Yesterday, given we had things on for both our mums, Niki and I decided Saturday would be our Mothers Day and we had a great lunch up at the Carrington Hotel at Katoomba. It was one of those great Blue Mountain autumn days - the sun was out, there was little breeze and the air was cool and crisp. We must of sat outside at the Carrington for 3hrs having lunch and watching the kids play.

Of course, I couldnt allow Niki to cook, so we had Chinese takeaway for tea.

Today, we went for lunch with my Mum & Dad at Sanders at Breakfast Point. (Nice pic I took of Mum & Dad below)

But lunch is a serious business for us... and it was funny that we ended up outside on the marina rather than in the restaurant as a former disgruntled employee had scrubbed out alot of names from the bookings book and as a result the restaurant was about 20% overbooked. We ended up outside, but we were soon joined by 4 other tables as well.

But it was really nice outside as you can see from these shots and I really liked the restaurant. They did pretty well since their 30 tables expanded to 35 suddenly.



Before we headed back, the girls collected heaps of shells which will be added to the pile of shells we already have from every other beach visit and/or holiday we have ever taken :)

Then it was home again for a one hour snooze and then we packed up and went to meet Niki's Mum & Dad for dinner at the Glenbrook Bowling Club. Champagne & Chocolates for the mums and a prize draw for something that we didnt win, and the kids played with their cousins while we sat and ate yet another meal! By the end of it all, I am well and truly stuffed.

Niki though has had a good weekend and I managed to make sure she didnt do much at all and as I speak, she's got her feet up watching TV in her new PJ's.
