On the last day of the girls' visit they took us to a lovely restaurant by the bay at Manly. We were given a super table right next to the windows overlooking the marina.
We had lovely meals, which I forgot to record. After coffee and a long chat we were driven home. Then we had friends call in for afternoon tea, where we finished the rest of Carol's fabulous birthday cake.
The next morning they packed up and I drove them to the airport It was sad to say goodbye but it had been a wow of a week with them here.
Last day photo in the sun, which made our glasses go dark.
So nice for you both.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it odd that glasses go dark so quickly in the sunlight but take forever to clear once inside.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with the girls! I know you're already missing them!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
