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,

Anniversary day out

Good morning! Welcome to another week! Will has a little sniffly cold today so we will be staying quiet and warm.

Here is a little update on what we got up to on Saturday for our Anniversary.

My wonderful parents came over at 9.30am to babysit William for the day, aren't they the best! And Will put on his charms for Grandma and Grandpa and they had a lot of fun apparently.

Then G and I headed to Balmoral for breakfast at Bathers Pavilion which was Luuuuurrvvly. Yum! We both had the Eggs Benedict which was delish and sat back 'bathing' in the sun light through the big bi fold doors sipping our coffee watching the swimmers and people walking their cute little pooches.

We took a stroll after our brekky along the Balmoral promenade and the weather was just perfect!
Then we decided to take a drive up to North Head in Manly which is the headland on the north side where the sea comes into Sydney Harbour.

Here is a photo I took with the crappy camera on my mobile phone. Stunning hey!


G (hubby) is an ocean swimmer and swum 11kms from the harbour bridge to Manly wharf two years ago and there is another swim he is planning to do which goes from Manly beach around to Manly wharf through the heads and you swim around past this spot. *chills* I said NO WAY!

Then we went to Manly and got ice creams and wandered around for a while just enjoying the novelty of not having a baby in tow.

We headed back home in the afternoon and G gave me some beautiful roses.

Here is a dodgy photo of them on my kitchen bench.

Then he cooked a yummy Butter Chicken for dinner, very spoilt. It was such a lovely day!

I hope you have a great Monday and I'm starting to plan Will's 1st birthday party which I will blog about later this week :)

On this day 6 years ago....

...I married my wonderful husband, who is now also the most wonderful father in the world too. And we have had six fantastic years of marriage and I look forward to MANY MANY more my darling!

We were married at Chatswood Sth Uniting Church - the same church that my parents were married and also where I was a flowergirl for my aunty's wedding. My Grandfather who was a Uniting Church minister married us which was soooo special. Our reception was at the stunning Manly Golf Club. We honeymooned on Tioman Island which is off Malaysia for a week then went on to South Africa where we had a mini wedding celebration at a resort in the Drakensberg Mountains and stopped back in KL on the way home for some shopping.

We have had a great day today celebrating but I will post about it on Monday :)

I hope you have a great weekend,
