Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi Michele Didn't know you were on here to!! What a great post. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VandT Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi Cheers Michele - Good idea. We went to the drive in at Dandenong last night for the first time, I'd reccomend that as well. We got cushions, a picnic of snacks & drinks, a blanket and watched 2 films from the back of our station wagon. I really enjoyed it. Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Vicky We still haven't got around to doing this yet and it is really good value. Glad you enjoyed it. The problem is for us it doesn't get dark till late and my youngest is usually tucked up in bed. I keep saying we will have to do the Movie Marathon that runs a couple of times throughout the year. I think I have also been spoilt by the Gold Class at Karingal lol:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VandT Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 It's good but it's no Gold Class!! I have a baby bump due in April and I'm now cramming in a few of those things I never got round to before the chaos begins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 You want to be getting in the Gold Class before the ittle one is born, lol:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Re: theatre, don't forget Billy Elliot is still playing. I drove past the Dromana drive in the other day, is it still open? Today I went down to Williamstown and from the pier caught a $5.00 little watercraft cruise around the bay, great views of Melbourne (even if a little smoke around still) then went and had ice-cream at the parlour, heaps of people around there today, out in the sun, having coffee and drinks at the cafe's and pubs. Lovely walk around, drove over the Westgate Bridge, flags flying at half mast due to national day of mourning, more good views, then home. There is plenty to do, live life, enjoy!
