Family Date 6.

this family date was completely inspired by one of sydney's greatest attractions - for kids.
the monorail.
if you live in sydney you will know the monorail is closing its gates on the 30th june.
this was the last time the boys would be able to experience something that is very dominant in jevan and my childhoods.
and plus it makes for a pretty cheap but memorable activity for the kiddos.
what makes this family date even more exciting is that for the first time EVER we did not have to pay for parking in the city *FIST PUMP* - which gave us an extra $12 BOO YAH.
to start off this date i did have one request.
banana and honey gozleme from the rocks markets.
and i got it, gosh they are so yum i could have had thousands - no joke.
of course the kids requested to have their cheeseburgers with their dad.
once everyone had a full tummy and was happy we headed off to the monorail station - along the way we did some exploring and found some of sydneys' hidden treasures.
kai-kai could have been content all day with watching the monorail pull into the station and leave.
after doing this and letting 3 monorails go by we hopped on.
we went around the whole circuit twice, the boys loved it and i loved that we were all together.
and a good family date is always finished off with a treat (my favourite part).
because we were a little short on change we opted more persuaded the boys to have a packet of smarties each - and they were happy as if they were having ice-cream.

  1. I'm so sad that the monorail is closing! I have such good memories of it as a kid.

    We went into the rocks when Vivid was on and Kurt got a nutella gozleme. AMAZING! It was life changing. :)
