'The girls' and appendages (Hayden, Adam and Dom) went down to Sorrento on Saturday morning to spend a relaxing day and night eating and drinking lots in honour of my birthday. Of course nothing is ever as smooth-running as in the imagined scenarios. After finally finding Danni and her carload and getting them to cruise behind us on the freeway, we noticed lots of smoke behind us. I rang Danni up and asked her if her car was on fire, and although she said 'I don't think so', we suggested she pull over. We had to leave poor Dom on the freeway to babysit the smoking car while we caught up with the rest, already an hour ahead of us!

The lunch was lovely. As you can see from the photos, we were literally ON the beach and the view outside was gorgeous. We've captured the moment hungry Dom joined us (to roaring applause) and Holly standing by the steps because she didn't want to get sand in her shoes.. how un-Australian. We returned to the shack and had a jolly night playing Charades and other kids games all night long.
