Happy 10 Year Anniversary

July has been a packed month, and on July 19^th Matt and I celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary.  We had a great family weekend to celebrate.  I have ten amazing cards with highlights from the last ten years that I will always cherish.  We went out to a nice dinner with the kids at Bathers Pavilion.    It is an iconic restaurant on Balmoral Beach and fortunately, they have a café, family- friendly side as so many restaurants in Sydney are not family-friendly.  We enjoyed a great dinner oceanside.  The next day we took the bus and went to Bondi Beach.  Bondi is a great place to go this time of year for whale watching as they are all migrating north. We caught a few glimpses, but nothing too clear.   Bondi is the most famous beach in Australia, with beautiful water and a very young and beautiful crowd.  I was hoping for a Hugh Jackman citing as he lives on Bondi, but no luck.  It was a great low-key weekend. The kids gave us two thumbs up for the next 10 years. 

The weekend before was a big night out when we attended a surprise 40^th birthday celebration for our friend.  His wife surprised him with a Bond style party at the Quay Restaurant in the overseas passenger terminal (where all the cruise ships dock).  It was quite the event with amazing views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, casino floor set up, DJ and a server who would not let my bubbly drink get past half empty.  Half way through the night, our friend’s wife surprised him with a motorcycle.  Matt and I agreed that we would talk first before surprising each other with a motorcycle.  We had a blast and felt it hard the next day.  If only we were playing for real money:)
