the sun came out yesterday. most of wellington was so stunned so see this bright yellow ball in the sky, they immediately took to the watefront to walk, skate, cycle, and generally leap about with glee.
we joined them.
te papa (our national museum) had a couple of things going on. this display of fancy cars was one of them. i personally don't see what the fuss is...


inside the museum, this was going on

this little guy (who can't be more than 11) completed a 3x3 rubic cube in under 3 minutes -
BLINDFOLDED!!!
the audience was in awe. as they should be!

then we stopped at chaffers dock for a bite to eat.
here's the grandma to my cupcake holder!!!

raspberry cupcake - yummmmmmmm

the view from our table to outside. all the outside tables were taken - dammit!

there was no wind. just gorgeous


chaffers dock

after our trip downtown with the girls, the hubs and i took a mini break!
it was our first in over 18 months - that's too long!
we stayed here - pretty cool huh? almost brand new

this is the spa we didn't relax in (no togs) and the pool we didn't swim in (too frikkin' freezing!)

we did however, relax upstairs in our 2-bedroom apartment and enjoy the last of the afternoon sun

after a curry at the local 'indian', we headed back and watched the all blacks beat the aussies at rugby. it wasn't pretty, but we won!

this morning we had breakfast here

then took a walk along the beach

yes, this is a teenage boy surfing in the ocean - IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER!!!

how cute are we?

Ohhhh! There is a song - and I can't remember the name of the artist - but there's a line that says something on the order of 'the shadow of us when we hold hands makes our love look enormous'.
This looks like just a wonderful little break!
Hope it was full of enormous love.
What a wonderful little getaway!

You had a great break and I think the win over the Aussies was great. So I guess you and I can talk a bit about the tri nations? Maybe we and Mummy Mc Tavish (http://samster-dot-com.blogspot.com/) can make our own little tri-nations in the blogging world. Maybe not - the freeking Srpingboks might just let me down.
Love the last picture - way cute.
Sounds like a lovely weekend!
