Family Time

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!

I had a fabulous one. It started with a picnic in the park with friends and ended with a visit from my parents. 

Saturday I spent with M as he was flying out to QLD on Sunday to visit his parents. We just hung out and relaxed. 

Sunday we woke up early, had breakfast together, he then he left for the airport and my parents arrived around lunchtime. That night I treated my parents to some tapas at El Bulli. I LOVE Spanish food!!! The best part is that El Bulli is just around the corner from home!

Monday we met some other family for some yum cha. I can't believe how much I ate for lunch! I ate so much I skipped dinner that night.

Not the best pic but you'll get the idea of what I was wearing. Mum and dad laughed at me for taking a picture of myself! They don't understand....

Outfit: Sasoo jean leggings, panda singlet, black zip jacket, Scooter flat scrunch boots, owl & key necklaces and tribal brass earrings.

A Picnic in the Park

What's better than spending Easter Friday eating seafood, picnicing in the park and spending time with friends?

This Easter we decided to get a little group together and do something a bit different. Usually we have a party on the Friday or Saturday night of the long weekend.

First stop, Sydney Fish Markets. The smell of seafood was in the air and the markets were packed being Good Friday. When we finally snagged a bench in the sun we wandered off in groups to get some delicious seafood goodies to eat. M & I shared a half lobster mornay with chips and salad plus a couple of oysters - one mornay and one kilpatrick.

Here's me on the way out to meet everyone at the fish markets!

Outfit: Chica Booti dress/top, shell earrings, key and beaded necklaces, Morelle mini patchwork, Onitsuka Tiger shoes

Next stop, Sydney Botannical Gardens to spend the rest of the day lazing around in the sunshine. I had been to the gardens a few times but had never really explored them. The plants there are amazing and the wildlife is pretty cool too.

Look at the size of that eel!

What a beautiful make duck. At least I think it's male as I've heard the males have the beautiful colours to attract females.

What an interesting species....are they for real?

This is the biggest tree I've ever seen! It's definitely a couple of hundred years old!!!

This bamboo was AMAZING! It was so tall and the sound and it makes when the wind blows it around is awesome. There's this crackling/popping sound and a moaning that sounds ancient and powerful.

Hanging out on the wall

After we'd been kicked out of the gardens we sat in the Domain watching the bats fly into the city. This was a sunset shot of the said city with it's neon lights.
