Last night, we met up with our son, his wife and sons, and
parents-in-law who just happened to be staying a short distance from us. David and family are having a week with
Shan’s parents before heading to New Zealand and Shan’s parents had arranged a
short break on the Sunshine Coast, not realising that our times here would
coincide. Yesterday was also Aidan’s
actual birthday, so we decided on dinner to be followed by birthday cake later
at their holiday apartment.
Unfortunately it was also Sunday night and we quickly
discovered that Trip Advisor can’t be trusted with restaurant opening
hours. Apart from a few bars – and
McDonalds – Maroochydore seemed to have closed for the day and the only place
we found open was the local RSL Club, where we have eaten before and had good
meals. After signing in, we discovered
that Jack had disappeared; he was discovered trying to play the poker
machines! On entering the large dining
area, we found a live band playing and dancing in progress, but we also
discovered that Sunday night was family roast special night – no a-la-carte
menu. Although not gourmet or
Masterchef, the food on offer was acceptable and very good value – Aidan and
Jack made very short work of their chips and nuggets, followed by ice cream
Sunday. Later, after blowing out his
birthday candles, Aidan unwrapped his present from his other grandparents and
his face lit up with such a huge grin when he realised he now had his very own
iPad.
Hard to believe that it was only last Monday that we were on
the boat! No fog this morning, just
clear skies and a beautiful sunrise; it wasn’t very long before we were sitting
on the patio working on our vitamin D levels.
After swapping our winter wardrobes for summer wardrobes, we
visited Bowlers Paradise for some new bowls gear – shoes and vest for her,
trousers and shorts for him. For some
reason, polar fleece jackets don’t seem to be stocked in Queensland
