Let Our Holiday Begin!

Sunday was spent sleeping in a bit, reading my book, uploading pictures on to Facebook, relaxing and then we went for a walk around the neighborhood.

This was the first chance I had to wear my new tennis shoes. These shoes are TOTALLY awesome. Thanks, Mom and Dad! ;) They even made me want to go for a run sometime… Key word being ‘sometime,’ now this could mean before I leave Australia or before summer ends!

I read my novel in less than a week. I absolutely LOVE books like that. I love them even more when I actually have time to read them too! The book was The Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin. If you haven’t read her books, you should! She wrote Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Baby Proof, and Love the One You’re With. All of which, I have not been able to put down!

I realized that I had my pictures marked on Facebook so that I was the only person who could see them. So, if you haven’t checked them out yet, go look at my Australia 2012 album!

Monday – Bribie Island

Six of us girls headed out to Bribie Island for the day. The sun was out, the skies were so clear, hardly a cloud in sight! We laid out, read our novels, and went for a dip whenever we were feeling a little too hot. I even made a conscious effort keep applying sun screen throughout our time
there. No worries, my back is as a lobster. Better luck next time I guess. I do know though, that with my skin, it will fade into a tan before I know it .

After spending a couple hours out in the sun, we meandered to a shop for some hot chips and ice cream. Hot chips are French fries of course. Believe it or not, these fries are so good you don’t even need ketchup! My milkshake was more of chocolate milk than ice cream but I didn’t even care. I just wanted the chocolate to balance the salt of the fries… Best beach meal EVER!

I'm impressed with myself keeping this post a bit short. I feel pictures would do a better job of describing my day than words.

Later this week we are hoping to see Surfer's Paradise, The Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast. Then Sunday it's off to Sydney! I could really get used to Aussie Holidays.
