Easter at Port Stephens

At Easter we visited Karyn's mother at Port Stephens.

It's about a 6hr drive from Canberra. What's amazing is what a difference a 6hr drive can make to the temperature. Here it's getting to be tracksuit weather, while up there you can only wear shorts and t-shirts.

It's funny how things change. In the past, most of the conflict/organisation revolved around who got to watch what on the TV. Now, it's whose got the laptop charger. We took two laptops but only one charger with us, so the big issue was who had to run on battery and who got to connect up and recharge while playing. I took a wireless keyboard we me so when it was my turn to use a laptop I could plug it in to the 50" TV and use it from across the room. Amazing how these things can just plug into one another and just work.

Matt and I took the chance to do some things that we don't usually do.

Like putt-putt.  (I won)








And practicing our driving.












One evening we also went bowling.  (I won there as well).

For lunch on Sunday we went to a seafood restaurant overlooking Nelson Bay marina.  The food was terrific.  The view was pretty good as well.



Karyn and me.









Here's a random photo at the marina.
