The weather here in Sydney has improved somewhat, it feels like spring is here to stay. The sun has been shining, the skies are blue but there is still a nip in the air in the mornings and late afternoons. Yesterday we took advantage of this beautiful weather and decided to take a drive out to Palm Beach, an hour north of Sydney. BG and Louise invited us to go out with them as Row is studying very hard, only 3 more weeks till the big exam. I tried to keep Justin up till we left and hoped he would have his nap in the car but he couldn't hold out so he had his nap at home and was awake and refreshed and full of beans for the drive out. The drive wasn't too bad, we drove through some nice neighbourhoods, saw some stunning houses and boats anchored in the marina and Justin was fine...except for the last 20 mins or so. I think he'd decided he'd had enough and wanted out of this car seat. Luckily, as soon as we got to our destination and he was set free, he was much better. We decided to share oysters, risotto and gnocchi for starters and duck and ocean trout in a phyllo pastry for mains....delicious! While we ate lunch, Justin was exploring the restaurant and deck while we played tag-team as to who would run after him. Thankfully the restaurant was not busy, we had arrived before the rush. After lunch we stopped off at Avalon town to browse the little shops while we ate gelato. To end off the outing, I took Justin onto the beach which he thoroughly enjoyed except when I miscalculated how near the water would come in and we got wet. I think it's more the fact that the water is cold which is what Justin doesn't like rather than him being afraid of the water. We got back into the car, gave him a bottle and he was out for the count.
