Happy 31st Dan

A little birthday surprise waiting for Dan when he got home from work Friday afternoon

 Friday- November 4th- was Dan's 31st birthday!  I had the night ALL planned.  I dropped Misses Bug of at the Grandparents house- and met Dan at home around 5pm.  I had cupcakes and champagne to start off our night.  After a quick bite - we caught the bus into the city- where we had dinner at a nice restaurant called Rockpools (thanks to our friends Anthony and Meredith who gave us this gift voucher!)

We had a fun time at dinner- drinking wine and chatting about the two couples on either side of us- who were clearly both on first (awkward!) dates.  Dinner was fun- but we needed some action- so we headed over to The Star- casino to play some Mr. Cash Man.  Although we didn't win.. we didn't lose much either.  All in all - a great night!

Saturday morning we took advantage of not having the stroller- and climbed up Manly head.  

Not a bad view from up here.  In the distance the beach to the left is Freshwater beach- where we used to live

Later that afternoon- we picked up Bug and some sushi and got ready for the beach.  We met Anthony and Natalie at Little Manly beach.

Sunday- we had a family BBQ in our back yard- to celebrate Dan and Gaga's birthdays- note to self- 10 people is probably the very MAX our little place can comfortably fit.
