cheerio.

after having my parents all to myself for 2 weeks, it came to our final day.  we decided to rent bikes to ride around mackay.  my dad took some great photos at the botanical gardens:

we stopped half way to have lunch at the mackay botanical garden cafe.  it was very yummy and the perfect amount of food to keep on biking.

shortly after we dropped our bikes off, jim was back in town so he picked us up and we headed home for a relaxing evening at the homestead.  we cooked and had dinner out on the balcony with an amazing sunset.  you really can't beat good food, drinks and even better conversation with people you love.  it was a great way to end their time here.

and in the morning, we got up and took my parents to the airport for our final goodbyes.  i was so sad to see them go, but i am so grateful that i had so much time with them.   i had a WONDERFUL time and will never forget this trip.  i miss you, pam and dad.  love you and thank you so much for everything you did for us while you were here!
