Easter weekend - Sydney

After lots of will we's or wont we's due to many things we kind of had our weekend away. The main 2 restraints being my health - I had the man flu for a few weeks and was very exhausted and really didn't think I could cope with a long weekend of walking around and the fact that the bank account really could not stretch at all- after how do you make a minus figure stretch except for in wrong direction. So we decided to postpone our zoo trip for now - the problem was that the Star Wars exhibit Kyle wanted to see closes these holidays - so we went up for an overnight stay only.

So one happy boy - at powerhouse museum Don't know who is scarier here - Tasha or the stormtrouper.

The kids with R2D2 and C3PO - have so many pics from the day at the museum - it was so hard to pick which to share

And just to prove I was there too! Heres me with a couple of R2 units

The star wars exhibit really was amazing. The background stuff was fascinating. They went into detail about not only the cinemagraphics and models and photography but the sound effects. We had a great time looking. playing and listening!

Then we did a rather abridged tour of the rest of the powerhouse museum. Too much information to cram into one day! There are heaps of different themed areas with lots of hands on exhibits.

We ended up staying in a motel we hadn't stayed in before and weren't sure what to expect as it was one of the cheaper places we could find. Having said that it was wonderful. We stayed at the Holiday Inn at Darling Harbour and admittedly they did upgrade us for free but the room and the hotel were wonderful. will definately be returning there! the kids were very excited as this was the view from our window. Kyle said it was the Aussie view - the power'ouse museum!!
