Day 7 and 8

Unfortunately we had a rainy weekend, so our plans didn't go, well, as planned!  But we had fun anyway.  On Saturday, it was a nice day in Sydney and the forecast for the Blue Mountains appeared to be ok.  Sooo....we drove all the way up there, only for it to get rainier and rainier, and more and more foggy.  We had never been to the Blue Mountains, so we went to the visitors center to check it out anyway for the future.  We obviously decided not to pay and go (since you couldn't see anything anyway), but we found some fun things at their great gift shop they have!  It's quite big and very reasonably priced!  We drove to Katoomba (near the Blue Mountains) and had lunch at a cafe.  We were all hoping it would clear up, but it never did.  We decided to drive on back to Sydney and go to Max Brenner's  - the Chocolate Cafe!  They have pretty much anything chocolate and everyone loved it - especially Grandma and the kids!!  It definitely was the highlight of the day!  I think it made the day that much brighter!  The good thing, is that they will be back, so we will take them to see the Blue Mountains next time.

Chocolate fondue, and waffles with chocolate, ice cream, strawberries, and bananas! YUMMO!
Sunday we went to church, and since it was a rainy day again, we decided just to hang out at home.  We played games in the afternoon (a little Ticket to Ride) and had some Old El Paso Fajitas for dinner - thanks General Mills!!  ;)
