coromandel road tripping...

I had almost forgot about the photos I took when my mum, my sister and I went around the Coromandel Peninsula  for 3 days to celebrate her 86th birthday!  We had a ball...

On the road to Coromandel - a bit overcast but we were able to catch glimpses of the Hauraki Gulf as we travelled up the coast.  

Hall Hunting!

Last weekend Charissa and I went for a drive - out to Somerset Dam then ended up all over the place.  We even managed to end up in the middle of this vintage hotrod car show - impressive!
Visited Coronation Hall which Shayna had always talked about.  It is a country hall with this country hillbilly feel, and loads of character.  Would scrub up really nicely with lights and decorations and make an awesome wedding reception venue...the only downside being the time it takes to get there. Despite the distance, the drive out there is absolutely picturesque and a smorgasbord of scenic delights.

the birthday!

Tarquin was one year old - back on 11th May!
What a bundle of cuteness she is...and being an Oma for the last year has been pretty special.  Her birthday present was pretty amazing too!
