A perfect weekend

Saturday was Emily's 5th birthday so, after lots of present opening (still in our pyjamas) we spent the morning trying out - binoculars, pogo stick, camera, playdoh pasta maker .........
Lunch at her favourite restaurant (more for the playground than the food) Hungry Jacks (Burger King) then back for a dip in the pool to test the boogie board and googles before sampling the chocolate mud cake complete with candles to blow out.
Sunday was busy - we headed for Goolwa on he tip of the Fleurieu Peninsular.There was a market at the Wharf and a small craft fare. We lunched at the Lime Cafe - salt and lemon pepper squid with a Thai salad.
Stopped at Middleton to watch the surfers but could hardly stand as the wind was so strong.
On to Victor for a view from the lookout point.The return journey took us through McLaren Vale so had to stop to sample a few wines. We rounded the evening off with a lovely homecooked roast pork dinner with lots of crackling and, of course, a glass of good wine ........ a perfect end to a lovely weekend.
