Martin participated in his second golf competition today at his home club Woodlands. Things started off well and then things turn south. With all that said, it was a fun day where dad was the caddy and the weather turned up to make it a beautiful winter's day. After the round and the card was handed in (Martin plays off a 21 handicap) we went for Ramen at Shyun Ramen Bar.
Winter has arrived but in true Aussie fashion, the weather turns out to be a beauty which means a road trip. This time it was Karl Jnr doing the driving as he needs the hours. Mom was being a right old Karen in the backseat but we got to our destination in one piece. Our first stop was Mock Red Hill where we had all their tasters with the apple pie being the best. It was then off to test his skills on the winding roads at Arthurs Seat which almost saw mom having a coronary. The last stop was at Pure Peninsula Honey where we bought some ciders and HONEY.
Another trip and Dad is knackered. We went to Philip Island today (somewhere G and I have never been - Boys have) to have a look around. We started off in Cowes for some brekkie and then onto Phillip Island Wildlife Park. The boys had a good time with the animals and then onto a few viewing spots culminating in the chocolate factory. Tummys were rumbling so we stop off in San Remo for some lunch at the local Motel. We then headed home, relaxed, and had a BBQ and now blogging while the family are watching a movie.
April Road Trip #2
Long weekends = Family Road TRIP
This Saturday we headed out to Kryal Castle near Ballarat with a quick stop in Ballan for brekkie. The boys did not know where we were going so the look on their faces was priceless when they realised it was the Unicorn Festival where they even stapled cones to the horse's head. We then went to lunch at Lake View Hotel which overlooks a large manmade lake and once done we ended the trip by visiting the Eureka Centre which displays the original Eureka flag that defined a very important time in Australian history. Time for Trip #2.
April Road Trip #1
Another busy Easter weekend...Easter Friday we were off to church and then we took our new scooter (Dragon GTR v2) for a spin down in Hastings before some lunch at the Epicurean in Balnarring. I took the boys to the footy on Sunday and Monday soon arrived with Karl working and Martin going with his mates to the city to watch another game all while mom was recovering at home from gallbladder surgery (she is A-OK).
