Penrith

I arrived in Sydney yesterday for the start of the National Adaptive Camp. Pete picked me up at the airport and we headed to Penrith. It was a beautiful, sunny day in Sydney with temperatures in the low 20's.

We arrived in Penrith and are staying at the Nepean Shores Caravan Park and each have our own cabin. They are really nice and comfortable.

Pete and I met up with Brandie at the Penrith Plaza and did some major grocery shopping for meals for the rest of the week. One of the reasons that we decided to stay at the caravan park was so that we would be able to cook our own meals. Much more nutritious for us as well as less expensive. We were able to buy food for all meals for the next 4 days for $140 and split between 5 of us that is fantastic.

Once back at the cabin we cooked up a huge feed of Spaghetti Bolognaise, garlic bread, salad and topped it off with fresh homemade fruit salad. Everyone came to my cabin for dinner...looks like my place will be the food venue!

We had a great team dinner with quite a few laughs. (The only person missing from the crew is Lisa our cox. Lisa will be arriving on Tuesday, as she is doing her year 12, she has an English assessment Tuesday morning, so couldn't miss it. Looking forward to having her back with the crew.)

I think the best part of the whole dinner was that the guys did the washing up!!! Love it when that happens.
