We drove to the Hunter Valley, the wine country thats about 2 hours from where we live. On the way we went through a town called Kurri Kurri which happened to have a car show/ 50's festival going on so we decided to stop by and check things out. They had lots of cars, markets and dancing in the streets. It was fun!
We then went to a few wineries to do some wine tasting. Some were good, some were gross but we ended up with a few bottles to take home.
After the wineries we headed to our hotel. We stayed at a hotel that is part of the chain of hotels I work for so we got it cheaper than usual and all of our food half price! Love job perks :) The grounds surrounding the hotel were beautiful and full of kangaroos with their joeys.

The next morning we went to the Hunter Valley Gardens.
Part of the gardens is Story Book Gardens where there is many famous nursery rhymes made out of shrubs and statues. I decided to sit in the big red chair.
We had such a relaxing time away and I can't wait to do it again. Maybe we'll have to make it an annual occasion!
