When the Mother comes to town

Not been very busy with my blog entries over the last month, in part due to being out and about as Mum and David have been over for approx the past 2 weeks. Had a great time going off on the odd day trip and giving them the tour of the west coast Perth metro beaches so they could appreciate the everyday life in Perth.

A trip to Rottnest was very relaxing as we chose well going midweek, just after the long weekend so avoiding the hordes and it had been 38 degrees the day before too, no thanks. Went to a few different spots on the island too including the lighthouse at the highest point of the island which gives you a great 360 view.

And of course a trip to Rottnest is not complete without a beer at the hotel at the end of the day while waiting for the ferry! Note the Pipsqueak cider in the background which Janice got Mum into as her new summery refreshing drink, much to David's delight.

Then we took off north for the weekend to Jurien Bay and to see the Pinnacles (it had been a while since we had done some fun tourist trips). Definitely impressive if you go for sunset as the light and shadows really make the landscape "pop-out" for those of us sad photograhic people who are into that kind of thing.
