A child free weekend...

For the first time in I don't know how long it was all about me.  It felt very strange and very unusual and I didn't rest easy.....all weekend I felt like I had forgotten something.

I had a girls weekend away in Canberra at Floriade 2013.  I have been to Canberra so many times for work but only this time as a tourist.  There was so much to see and do and we ran out of time. 

The flowers at Floriade were excellent.

 
 
 
 
And we just loved the gnome display.....there were hundreds of them
 
 
 
 
In amongst touring the galleries we went to the National Arboretum.  It was amazing ...it will be fascinating to go back in 5 years time when the trees have grown some more...it also has one of the best kids playgrounds I have seen.
 

Think we will have to come back and bring all the children as well and maybe even go skiing on the way.....that is if we drive.....and that will take some convincing......but a good three days in the snow skiing could swing it for me.
