Bateau Bay, NSW

We left Salamander Bay at around 10am, headed back to the Bateau Bay. On the way home we stopped at The Oaks in Hexam. This is a place we had stopped many times as kids on one of our many trips up the north coast. However this is nothing like I remembered. Although the name remains, it is now merely a Hungry Jacks, and not the great rest stop I remember. 

After we arrived back at Mum's, I walked around to see Nan & Grandad Fay. I love the fact that I still have the opportunity to visit with my grandparents, though they are not quite themselves after the recent loss of Uncle Gary. Still, I'll take every minute I can. Mum picked me up and we bought some fish and chips to eat at Shelly Beach. This is one of most favorite rituals to do when I come home, even if it was way too cold to be sitting in the wind at the beach. Tonight I stayed at Mums - the house I grew up in.
