Last Saturday Bex, Elle and I road tripped down to Hamilton for Chris' 21st. We stopped at McD's in Huntly on the way down and had a couple of local 10 year old boys declare us their girlfriends!! Too funny! We went straight to the Hamilton Gardens and had a look around. The girls had been there before so they acted as my tour guides as we travelled through the gardens. We had a lot of fun travelling around the world while we were there. We can expect a party in India in the near future, right Bex!! ; )
We checked into our super cool motel for the night, got prettied up and then met Tim, Amy and Lauren for dinner at Iguanas in 'town'.
Elli played navigater and got us to Chapel Hill where Chris was holding his party. This was not before a stop at a dodgey looking Dairy for a birthday card. Mmmm, what a handsome dog! Haha
Chris' party was good, just lots of hanging out and chatting. I ran into a guy I went to High School with so we had a good catch up. It was fun looking at the photos of Chris growing up and hearing the things that his friends shared during the speeches. Chris gave the longest 21st speech I've ever heard. It didn't seem quite this long but he reckoned it was about 35-40 minutes. It included his testimony, it really great to hear how God has worked in his life.
Kevin stayed at the hotel with us and we talked til about 2am.
We enjoyed our 2 free breakfasts which we split between the 4 of us and went off to church. It was certainly different when the guy worship leading you are used to seeing jumping around the stage as the lead singer of Late 80's Mercedes!
We had lunch, shopped and then left town around 3 on Sunday afternoon.
We made in back in plenty of time for InCite.
Overall a pretty good weekend. It will easily beat this weekend away in Rotorua for a work conference. Grumble grumble.
