Road trip

For mom and dad's last weekend in Sydney, we drove up to Hunter Valley to Louise's mum's place. We left on Friday afternoon and it was only a two and a half hour drive. Justin had spent the whole day at day care so he was pretty knackered and slept the whole way. We arrived in Hunter Valley just after 7:30pm and Justin ate dinner with us, explored his surroundings and then had a bath and bed time. On Saturday we went to the Hunter Valley Gardens which were really beautiful and definitely worth a trip back in summer when the flowers are in full bloom. For cheese, wine and olive lovers, this place is a must go to destination. Rowan, who is actually the cheese and olive lover in our relationship wasn't able to join us as his cousin, Candice and her husband Barry, were here for a visit, so I went to these shops on his behalf and brought back some goods to sample. We spent most of Sunday in the car, driving up to Newcastle for yum cha and then on to Terrigal for some site seeing (Louise's mum is building a house there) and then we drove back to Sydney. Justin was an absolute star, not fussing too much about being strapped up but when we did take him out to stretch his legs, boy did he go wild! Hopefully he'll start walking soon :)
