Birthday Outing

It was A's birthday on Good Friday which wasn't very convenient as the places that I wanted to visit were all closed. Nonetheless the following Tuesday, we went to the things that I had planned to celebrate his birthday. 

First was a stop at Le Pain Quotidien at The Rocks for an incredibly late lunch. I ordered the Avocado with cannellini beans tartine and was a little disappointed. I love beans, but I love avocado a lot more and wished that there were actual chunks of it instead of a measly amount smeared on the bread.

After a few games at City Amusement in Market City, we headed to dinner at Encasa. We were actually meant to eat here back in December when we first met up, however at that time, the place was completely full and we were turned away. I thought it would be nice and sentimental to visit this place. In hindsight, we should have eaten less for lunch as we were both still quite full at dinner. Ah well, peanut butter.

I remember when these were all the rage on Livejournal textures communities. Ah the days. Though I guess not much as changed since there are tons of phone apps to place bokeh filters on your images. 

The last stop for the night was a night session tour at the Sydney Observatory. A. had wanted to visit as did I, and after reading RYDN's post a while ago, I was further prompted to visit. It was a very nice tour and I thoroughly enjoyed looking through the telescopes. It was a very nice way to end the night.
