Revisiting the Hunter Valley

Mike's work hosted a "Spring Getaway" to the Hunter Valley this weekend. They paid hotel rooms for all employees and their families (or a plus one), hosted a wine tasting event, and few nice meals. All the families scored villas, I think because then they wouldn't bother anyone with their noisy kids. We ended up with a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house. It was excessive for one night a family of three, but we enjoyed it all the same. We also checked out the Hunter Valley Zoo, which is pretty small compared to other zoos we've been too, but it was just right for Penny's first zoo experience. We didn't have her stroller, so she walked around the whole place, and only needed to be carried a few times. It was a fun weekend despite being at a very "touristy" place, but it was just the right amount of time away.
