We had a wonderful time catching up with Pete, Jo, Matt, and Tom at their home in Perth. We had only visited with Pete and Jo once since they moved away from North Bay 7 years ago so we were long overdue for a visit. We were fortunate to be here to celebrate Jo's birthday and we went out to a fabulous outdoor restaurant with them and their friends Derek, Liz and their son Sean. The restaurant specialized in making wood-fired pizzas and everyone got to make their own which was great fun. The kids got to play mini-putt while the adults celebrated Jo's birthday with a couple of cocktails. We also got to enjoy a leisurely afternoon the next day and enjoyed a couple of drinks down at the Breakwater Pub at Hilliary's Marina. Jo was a gracious hostess and showed us the sites of Perth including its most famous beach, Cottesloe and its 1 000 acre King's Park. We had a very Aussie lunch of fish and chips by the beach followed by an afternoon of swimming and jumping in the waves at Cottesloe. The following day we visited King's Park where we enjoyed a picnic lunch under the shade of a tree and then a stroll through the park where we enjoyed fabulous views of the city and the Swan River. Cameron of course was thrilled to have the boys to play with and had a great time playing basketball and swimming in the pool. All this combined with fabulous meals and visits in the backyard at their home and we were very much spoiled! Thanks so much Pete, Jo, Matt and Tom! We had a wonderful visit!
