Big excitement!

Luna Park...

(tree-climbing in Hyde Park - as you do!)
....just one of the many wacky things we saw in the city - a thong vending machine!
Then to the Airport to catch the 3.30 flight back to our quiet, peaceful, relaxing country home....
Phew!
FUN was had by all.
WOW your post is perfect timing Penny, hubby and I are off to Sydney for 4 days in May and I am hoping to get him into SO GOOD to buy me a few trinkets, Hyde Park is on my list and seeing your photos has given me the idea to check out Manly beach.Zumbo Patisserie sounds like my kind of place and as we have never been to the movies together I am hoping to find something we would both like on the giant screen while we are there. btw - your daughter chose the same Taylor Swift t-shirt that my daughter did! (Hope you don't think I am creepy almost mimicking your Sydney trip) LOL
ReplyDeleteWow! We only live an hour or so up the road & haven't done all you've managed to fit in...ever!!! Looks like the girls had a ball. You'd need to go home to recuperate...bet they remember that holiday all their lives:):):) Oh, & great photos:):)
ReplyDeleteWow, your photos are fab, I can almost feel the atmosphere of the big city! What fun you all had, what a busy and packed weekend, and what a memorable experience you created for the girls.
