Leigh's 40th

We thought we would be sneaky squirrels and fly down to Sydney to surprise Leigh for her 40th in June.  Unbeknown to us, Mum had had the same idea!  So there were surprises going on all over the place!

Needless to say, we had a fabulous weekend away (sans kids for me!).  John was in full project manager mode, collecting and dropping off at the airport and moving everyone around like a pro!  He arranged for us all to have a beautiful lunch at Darling Harbour on the Saturday afternoon, and then we had dinner at a great place at the Rocks, followed by cocktails (lemon lime and bitters for me).  It was sooo good all us girls being together again. 

The next day everyone else nursed their hangovers, and I emerged fresh as a daisy, ready for more action!  We had a great buffet breakfast in the hotel, followed by lunch at Leigh and John's local.  Then it was sadly time to say goodbye. 

Thank you so much to John for his incredible generosity and organisation skills.  Thanks to him we had a brilliant and unforgettable weekend.

The harbour bridge was right behind us! (you'll have to take my word for it)


The best buffet breakfast ever


Fed and watered (I think those are all Leigh's tea cups - she loves a cuppa!!)

Back at the O'Dowds, pressie time
