hunter valley

Hooray! Australia’s population just tipped 22 million people! With an Australian land mass of 7,692,030 kmĀ², a majority of people live by the sea, me included – I live about 20 minutes walk from the beach (yay!) However the oldies came to visit, so we all headed up to hunter valley, australia’s wine regions since the 1820s. Guess who got to be designated driver…yeah, that’s right…me. 3 backseat drivers and many hours later, I really needed a stiff drink but couldn’t have one because I was driving. Sigh. I love my family, I love my family, I love my family (repeat 1000 times)
It was a nice weekend trip anyway. The Hunter Valley Gardens were a highlight for me, especially the “floating” japanese pavillion and the sakura were flowering. So beautiful.
Enjoy the pics,
