I have wanted to do this post for a while but have not had time.
I have just had two weeks holiday (the joys of being a teacher!) and this holiday was filled with super fun stuff. I thought I would dedicate a post to my super fun holiday.
Not all events were snapped with my trusty camera, not too worry.
Rocking out to Def Leppard and their support act Heart, man oh man those women know how to rock!

I am suprised I had a voice left after this concert with all the singing I did. We had awesome seats too, always a bonus!!
 |
| Oh Def Leppard!!! |
Mini break in Wellington...
Highlights were...
Zealandia sanctuary. Seeing an array of New Zealand native birds (and a tuatara) up close was great!
This gonna sound super geeky, but I Andy and I enjoyed a tour of parliament.
Aunty Margarets tour of the Warirapa.
She took us to Cape Palliser which was just stunning.

| 250 steep steps up to the lighthouse |
 |
| Worth it for the beautiful view |
 |
| Lots of seals to see along the way. | | | | |
|
I am sad to say a highlight was ordering room service (for the first time in my 32 years) desert and watching X Factor.
 |
| OMG, cookies and cream cheese cake (mine) and brownies (Andys) |
Experiencing the magic that is Chow!! What a restaurant!!! Chow - come to Auckland!!!!!!!!!!
Spending time with my awesome husband! I am one lucky lady!
Back at home...
Catching up with good friends for lunch, reading and general laxing out.
Enjoying good friends, sunshine and sweet tunes at the Fontera Big Shout at the Domain on Labour Day.

Other wee snippets, coming across yarn bombing in the centre of Auckland made me smile.
Fish and chips and a Movenpick Ice Cream at Mission Bay.
 |
| So many choices. I am boring and always get the same, a scoop of Vanilla Brownie and a scoop of Caramelita |
 |
| Playing around with my fancy new camera |
I have mentioned this before and I will mention it again, I LOVED the rugby world cup. I loved the excitement associated with it and loved how New Zealanders got behind it.
Andy and I were lucky enough to be given tickets to the Rugby World Cup Final, New Zealand vs France. What a game!!

| This was actually taken in Wellington but is related to the next set of photos, it is my blog I can do what I want... |
 |
| Walking to the game... |
 |
| Outside Eden Park, my t shirt says French Toast |
 |
| Teams warming up before the game, our seats were pretty awesome! |
 |
| I love this part, the teams being called/welcomed to the field of play |
 |
|
| It was a very tense game! | | | | | | |
|

 |
| Celebrating the win! |
