Sunday Driving

Sunday is a day for rest, right? To sleep in and enjoy a relaxing breakfast on the deck, read the papers (electronically in this day and age, but still...) and then move comfortably into the afternoon sport.
Well I got most of that, but there was also the required outing to be done in the middle of this. And as Majority Rule had mentioned this specific day trip for about 12 months then it was probably high time that we got it out of the way.

So it was that we headed off on a Sunday drive. First port of call was Bass Point and Bushrangers Bay, Bass Point where we hadn't been since Jess was very young, and Bushrangers Bay where none of us had been together. Bass Point was as crowded as it usually is, but Bushrangers Bay seemed almost deserted, but with lovely views.

From here we moved on to Kiama via Swamp Road and Long Brush Road to Saddleback Mountain Lookout, where again we hadn't taken the kids before. The views of the Illawarra are just as spectacular now as they have ever been. The mountain is just as high as well, so when your five year old son decides to lose one of his thongs over the viewing platform, there is little chance of retrieving it, and so said son was left to walk back to the car on one thong-less foot. Good job Josh, good job.

After a leisurely trip home via Jamberoo Road, we had a late lunch (1.30pm) on the Deck at home. Roast pork sandwiches and ham sandwiches were the fare, and bloody good it was too. The deli at the new General Store on Ashburton Drive is terrific, and highly recommended if you live in the vicinity.

An excellent and relaxing day concluded as I watched the 4th ODI between Australia and Sri Lanka from Sydney while the rest of the family watched Nim's Island on the upstairs TV.
Helen then once again outdid herself, cooking a superb lasagna for tea, one of her specialties.
