Our anniversary in the moutains

Yesterday was our 7yr wedding anniversary. Seven years! I know, can you believe it!

So a few weeks ago we booked a night away in the Blue Mountains and Mum and Dad kindly offered to look after Will for us.

Here we are at Evan's Lookout, it got all misty just as we arrived and was so pretty.

Here is the lobby of the hotel we stayed at. It was an old guest house in Katoomba. The rooms weren't anything amazing but the building itself was very pretty and the lobby and dining room were beautiful.

We also snuck into the ballroom and practised our waltzing skills in the big empty room
(wish I could have got a pic of it - quite funny)

Another corner of the lobby.

During the day we went shopping at Leura, coffees, cakes, antique shops, lookouts etc.

You know how you've seen 50million photos of the three sisters and the Blue Mts and been there dozens of times but then when you're there again it's just breath taking all over again.

(You never can line up photos right when you're holding the camera out in front of you!) :)

So yeah, we had a wonderful time!!! It was our first time going away without William, I kept thinking about him and missing him but it was nice to have time just the two of us.

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Have a great day,

  9. Happy anniversary to you both!! So lovely you could organise a little escape to the mountains. We love it out there - stayed in Wentworth Falls the first time we went to Sydney and adored Leura. Gorgeous pics, such beautiful scenery out there. Paul and I went out without Grace on Saturday night for the first time in ages too as we had a birthday dinner to attend.

  12. Happy anniversary, love your pics!! im actually originally from the blue mountains(Lithgow), Evans Lookout is a very pretty place. My husband did all of the lighting in the Leura tunnel for the RTA when they built it. I imagine Will was beside himself when you got home!!
