Turning 60

We are just back from a 4 day weekend in Golden Bay for Joss’s father’s birthday. Ross is the first of our parents to hit 60. It was a great weekend that we all really enjoyed. Ross knew there was a party but not all who was invited & exactly what was going on, so he had a great weekend.

We had a good trip there making good time with only a couple of stops. Then it was a weekend of getting together of family & friends, great food, & a good supply of alcohol (not for Brook). We went fishing at the salmon farm & Brook got to pull in two fish which was great (although not that realistic of a fishing experience for him since we got there before feeding time & the fish may as well have jumped into our bucket).

The travel there & back was an experience in the changeability of New Zealand weather. Heading to GB we had howling nor wester winds, torrential rain, & wonderful sunshine. Heading back today we had sun, rain, snow, and a thunder/lightning storm with huge hail stones thrown in.

The weather for the party could not have been much better so that was good & we had not accidents or saw any on the travel so that too was good.
