::WARNING:: lots of photos :D
I've been on a bit of a holiday...yippee!!! I've just spent 5 days with Blossom in her new home town South Australia, such a pretty part of Australia. I just have to say I had an absolutely fabulous time and really feel rested and relaxed, thank you Blossom. This was what greeted me as I walked in the door...
Blossom had arranged outings each day of the weekend and dinners out every night. What's a mother to do but go along with the plans :grin:. Oh the food... I don't think I have eaten so much in a very long time. Friday night we dined at Stella Restaurant, I was so excited to be with my girl I forgot to take photos which was a shame as the meal was divine.
Saturday we had a quick breakfast at a Coffee Club and a quick stop in Target where I picked up some Winter clothing on sale before heading off to the Adelaide Hills for the day. The Big Rocking Horse was our first stop, I struggled not to buy every toy I saw...lol, but I did pick up just a few for Grandma's Toy box :wink:.
Hahndorf was our next stop for a Schnitzel lunch and a bit of a stroll around the town. The Hahndorf Inn was so busy we didn't sit down to lunch until 2.30 but the Schnitzel was divine and well worth the wait. We made it back to Adelaide to squeeze in a bit more shopping and pick up something for dinner, as we were still full from lunch we decided not to go out to eat :whew:
Sunday we had a late start to the day with breakfast at the pancake kitchen. This is not a good photo but you get the idea. Bacon, eggs, tomato, pancakes, maple syrup and whipped butter...yummo!!!
We followed this up with a trip to the Adelaide Zoo, complete with panda's...I.Heart.Panda's. I actually cracked out my dSLR for this outing, so glad I did as I got some good photos of the animals. A quick stop at home to freshen up and change for dinner at Sammi's on the Marina. Seafood here we come and boy was it gorgeous, crumbed King Whiting, prawns and calamari that just melted in your mouth...
Coffee Club for brunch Monday... and a BLT that was awesome...
As Bloss has a unit within walking distance of a beach, I forced myself to take a stroll each day she had to work...hehehe. I sure could get use to this view...
We followed up a lazy day with Gold Class Cinema tickets to The Hunger Games...wow oh wow am I spoilt or what!
Alas Tuesday was the day I had to leave for home, so it was an early breakfast at Coffee Club followed by a walk along the beach...
I just had time to check Google reader before Bloss arrived to take me to the airport. It was a truly wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable break from the usual routine. I sure do miss my girl everyday but so thankful she is not too far away that I can't visit on a regular basis. I've already planned my next visit and this time Dad will be coming with me :grin:.
Have a great day!
