Tasman Peninsular

We did several day trips from Hobart in the last month we were there. The Tasman Peninsular has more than Port Arthur to see so we spent a day looking at the amazing natural archways, blow holes, cliffs and crevices. It wasn't the nicest day but the sea was pretty wild and beautiful.

Last but not least

And Tim's birthday marked the end of our crazy ten days of celebration. We went out for a gorgeous meal and it wasn't a Zweefer's cake but it was still pretty good.
Happy birthday babe!

And the birthdays keep coming

Lollie's birthday finally came, a week is a long time between birthdays! Her plans were very decisive, it was all about the cake (and macaroons and ice cream) and we were all happy to go along for the ride! We had spotted a lovely bakery near Salamanca Markets so that was our destination for lunch, well if you can call it lunch when there is no savoury involved. After lunch we went to the aquatic centre for a swim and the kids had a ball on the diving boards (but mum forgot her camera... oops). She got a camera for her birthday so I dare say blogging duties may be lighter in the future.
Happy birthday gorgeous girl xoxox

Double digits!

Rex's birthday finally arrived after much anticipation and excitement about turning 10! He loved his new bike and so decided to celebrate with a ride over the Tasman Bridge and sushi for dinner (there has to be sacrifices on the road and sushi has been one of them). The ride over the bridge was a little hairier than we expected, the bike path was very narrow and the bridge is very high! We were also very hopeful that a large ship didn't approach. We had a great play in the park and rode around Hobart before our long trek and scarier ride home (the wind had picked up a bit).
Happy birthday Rexie, can't believe you are 10 xoxo

So good to have visitors!

At the beginning of March, Mum and Dad came down for a visit. We were pretty excited to see them and really appreciated them making the trip, it had been seven months since a Granny cuddle! We had a very busy four days, driving up to Derwent Bridge to see The Wall as well as Campbell Town to see Mum's sister Anne and Ange and Hannah (my cousin and her daughter). Tim and Dad also managed to squeeze in a tour to the Cascade Factory. It was wonderful to spend some time with them, but four days just didn't seem enough in the end!

Just part of the gang

While at Seven Mile Beach a bunch of guys arrived on bikes one afternoon and it didn't take long before they felt like old friends. They were a lovely group doing a big charity ride, raising money for prostate cancer. The kids were in the cabin watching TV and sitting on the bikes, almost faster than Tim was having a beer with them.

Mount Wellington

With the imposing Mount Wellington looking down at us while we tripped around Hobart, we couldn't leave with going up and having a look. As usual with most things in Tassie, we were very impressed. It was a gorgeous day we could see for miles and the kids especially enjoyed climbing around on the rocks.
