Where we going Daddy?
We all headed off to visit Uncle James recently, who lives, guess where...
We had lots of fun, the highlight being seeing James of course, followed closely, for the boys, the monorail which we had prime viewing of from our apartment window... "gween monowail Da-go!" Nanna took the boys for 'woops' on the 'monowail' on a couple of times, who needs luna park when there is a monorail?
China town night market for some Japanese Pizza goodness...
Chips on the beach at Manly where the Manly Jazz Festival was in full swing.
Happy Damon got to hear his favourite jazz guitarist, James Muller :)
Not so happy Damon found that he only got to hear the last song in the set before the band packed up :(
Big crabs at the fish markets. We ate well that night thanks Nanna! - barramundi, Morton Bay bugs and scollops, mmmm!
These photo was taken in a restaurant where there were many tanks full of different kinds of fish, crabs and crays. Next to the tanks of happy healthy fish there was a tank full of a variety of the fish which were not so happy and healthy, obviously in fresh water, slowly drowning before becoming lunch. Maybe this was a slightly more enlightening sealife experience for the boys than the Sydney Aquarium (and certainly easier on the wallet!)!
Japanese delicacies in Darling Harbour. Luckily there were chips on the menu for Theo :)
Yay, a surprise on the last night - fireworks!
(which Theo kept accidentally calling waterworks)
So many thanks to Mum for such a memorable holiday!
It was so good to see James, spend time with 'Nanna' and 'Grandpa', experience the IKEA madness as we had lots of fun trying to chose which flatpacked bargains to fill James' flat with, experience some of Sydney with the boys, and to bring some of our rain to the dry shores of Sydney - the heavy clouds followed us all the way from our drenched state.
