We headed up to Sydney this weekend to see the Canada vs USA ice hockey game at Allphones Arena in Sydney Olympic Park.
Originally we were going to travel up and back in the one day, but just this week it kinda dawned on us that the game would most likely finish quite late (even later if there was overtime) and it was a sell-out crowd so that's about 21,000 people to have to manoeuvre our way out of...so of course we then had the fun of trying to find accommodation at the last minute. We decided we'd really like to be able to walk to and from the game...and after much searching online and several phone calls we ended up having to go with a room in the Pullman (5 star hotel!!! Breakfast included! Lol!!) soooo...it almost made this weekend like a second honeymoon lol.
We don't stay in 5 star places usually (ok - ever). So it has been heaps of fun. We ended up on the 14th floor - awesome view of the city and you need your room key for the lift to even go to that floor (actually ended up being embarrassing asking people to move so we could put our room key in the slot lol) plus there's a doorbell for each room (!) and lots of other fun features (like valet parking for the price of normal parking). So yeah, we enjoyed our stay here.
We went to ikea and got some things I've been waiting for over a year to get and also stopped in at DFO and did a bit of shopping :)
The game last night was awesome!!! I'll have to do a separate post on that :)
Such a great weekend. Very thankful to the grandparents who stepped in a looked after our babies while we lived it up!! I really want to bring the kids next time tho :)
