We head in the car with Aunt Denise, Daniel and his girlfriend Jess to Nelson Bay, back where our trip began. The sneaky Bond family decided to come down to celebrate Nan's birthday early (June 14th actual date) so we could be part of the festivities. Aunt Karen, Uncle Vernon, Uncle Ian and Tennille flew down early Friday morning and we arrived in the afternoon to meet them at the club for drinks. Nan made wonderful curries for dinner, and we stayed up very late drinking way too much, we can tell you more on that later. We had a wonderful evening, and we mostly recovered by lunchtime Saturday at The Deck, a nice restaurant at Soldiers Point Marina. It was really nice to spend the end of our trip with a family function. The weekend was great.
