6/18 Drive to Blue Mountains
Drive to the Blue Mountains.. drive sounds like a bit of an understatement... it was more like a road trip. Oh yes it may have only taken us one day, but if you were in the car with us you would know just what we mean. See our drive was supposed to take about 2 and a half hours to get from Sydney to the Blue Mountains.. however it turned out that Dad had something more .. lets say.. "exciting" planned.. or at least that's how he put it.
We started out driving, 18 minutes pass, Dad see's a Tourist information stop and we pull over to check it out. Well after one stop we thought it was just one thing that Dad had just really wanted to see, but then after about 4 more of these just "random" stops in about 40 minutes, we figured out this was going to be happening a whole lot.
At around 1:00 pm Mom finally convinced Dad that it was about time that we kids had breakfast. I guess because we were just having such a "blast" stopping at all the sightseeing stops and all the Tourist information places, we just lost track of time. Every time we asked Dad how close we were to the Cabin he would say that we would be there in about 15 minutes away.. haha WE WERE TOTALLY NOT that close.. which we found out when we arrived an hour later after he had just said we would arrive in 15 min.
After leaving the hotel in Sydney at about 7:30 am (because some people in our family thought that there would be rush hour at that time, forgetting it was Saturday and NO ONE goes to work on Saturday.. ) we arrived at our Cabin in the Blue Mountains at around 6:00 pm.
Dad is always saying how he wants us to remember the times we have as a family, well Dad, have no fear this trip will be forever engrained in our minds.
