A day in Orange







We are having to make sure we get the km's on the car so today we headed out to Orange to Visit Dazza, Kazza and Noah.

We left at 7am with coffee in hand and a large home made fruit salad. We made one quick stop in Lithgow for a comfort break and then were back on the road. It was almost exactly 3 & a Half hours from our door to theirs so at 10.30am we were welcomed with big hugs and hello's.

After a coffee and stretch we headed out to see the sights and head for lunch. We were given a tour of the area and went up to Mt Canobolas. It was cool and cloudy so we couldn't see the whole view but of what we could it was stunning. Noah was very impressed he got to see his rockets also.

Well this is where the day SLOWS down and we sit and just soak in the atmosphere, smells, sights and ahhhhhhhhhhhh just everything wonderful. We made our lunch reservation at Borrodell on the Mount for 12.30pm and we arrived to find we had one of the best tables and view's they could offer. We shared antipasto plates and sipped champagne and then onto wine with our divine main course and after letting it all absorb us we all polished off a very decadent dessert. We chilled some more then headed back to the car a very casual 3 hours after arriving. Noah was a dream just sitting and playing and also enjoying it all.

If you wanna sneak a peak at where we ate and the menu click on the title of this post, be warned though it may make you want to take a spontaneous trip to Orange to try it for yourself.

We headed back to the Smiths seeing more of Orange on the way. We stayed for a short while longer before hitting the road about 4.45pm. Again it was a easy trip home taking the same amount of time with no traffic to be seen.

Thanks Smiths we cant wait to do it again.
