THE BIG HOLIDAY

We have come back from a lovely holiday.
I realise that I have totally dissed my blog and I am not sure whether I will try to make amends or just carry on as if nothing happened.
The renovation did not exactly thrill us with its progress while we were gone. I thought maybe without our prying eyes, the house might magically transform itself (as if released from the burden of modesty). Still, things are happening I am led to believe.
I also up and turned double 21 last week which was nice. Good brekky out and a smashing dinner and awesome cake.
So, on the hols we took a road trip up to Queensland. Yes a road trip without car dvd players and with a 13 yr old and an 11 yr old. They did however give their Nintendos a run for their money
I was fantastic! We booked ourselves a lovely apartment for three days in Broadbeach, but other than that we just meandered our way. We stopped in Canberra and went to Parliament House (didn't see Julia) and the War Memorial. We ate counter meals and stayed in caravan park cabins. We had our own pillows and some other bedding int the car including the tent, but weren't brave enough to camp in the cold.
We got all National Lampoon and went to the BIG BANANA (closed and not so big), the BIG PRAWN (surrounded by cyclone fencing awaiting destruction) and the Theme Parks (aka THE WORLDS).
We drove to the Sunshine Coast and stayed with our dear friends, walked in Kondalilla National Park, Noosa National Park and ate and drank far more than was required.
It rocked.
I would do it again in a flash.
