Big Birthday!!!!

Central NY/Australia
November 8-10th 2019 and the 19th

This was a big Birthday year for me and my family and friends made it super special. Friday night was the big "surprise" party!!!!




I will admit that I had just a few to many cocktails and was given several shots. Not the best presentation of myself, but it sure was a great time. I am so fortunate to have such amazing friends and a wonderful family.




These amazing people made turning 50 not so terrible.































It was really a great time!















 Mark had a few surprises for me. He made reservations at the Lodge with a room that had its own hot tub on the balcony. But first he took me to the driving dome for my very first try at golf. I got a few good shots in, but I am far from Tiger status. It was great fun.

I was pleased to bits with the golf and the hot tub...then I got this amazing surprise....
Mark had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries delivered to the room.
After some time in the hot tub, we made our way to the VIP room where we had some lite food and a few drinks before having some fun in the casino.
Mark had reservations at a nice Italian restaurant Pino Bianco for later in the evening and we joined up with Pat and Anne for some evening fun. We spent some time having champagne in the room before Pat and Mark went to the casino and Anne and I went to The Tin Rooster for some drinks and discussion. 

Dinner at Pino Bianco was incredible. It was super yummy and we had great company.





After dinner I headed back to the room where I enjoyed some time in the private hot tub and finished off the Champagne. 


It was a very lovely evening and great fun to be sitting warm under the cool night sky. For breakfast we ate at Wildflowers and I had my favorite Bananas Foster! Yum Yum Yum!!!



It was so wonderful and my Birthday was not even here yet. I got to celebrate my actual day of birth in Australia!!! I turned 50 a day earlier in Aussie time and then it was again in America. WOW!!!!
While in Australia for my actual Birthday I was sung to by the tour group I was with and my tour guide gave me this beautiful Australian print. 

I was in Sydney for my Birthday and we had cocktails on the sky deck overlooking the bay. Some of my fellow travelers joined me and my mom. 




 Don, Cindy, Kaye, Zelda, Barbara and Alice joined us for rooftop cocktails. It was very nice.

 When I got back to the room, the hotel had also left me a nice Birthday wish!

It was an incredible Birthday bash all month long. I am truly blessed!
