Relaxation and Sunshine

It is day 9 of our Australian adventure and relaxation has fully kicked in. We had a wonderful time during the rest of our stay in Adelaide. It was hard to leave Carney and Davina and especially two of the cutest kids ever, Rylee and Jake. Rylee definitely took a shining to Lindsay, they were inseparable the whole time!! Hopefully it won't be too long before we all get to catch up again.

Saturday was a scorcher here in Perth! I think it must have been in the high 30s and not a lot of wind. We went to our good friends Nadia and Sean's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony at the Scented Gardens in South Perth with the birds singing and butterflies fluttering in the trees. Nadia looked absolutely beautiful and Sean wasn't too bad himself. It was also great catching up with Nathan who was down from up north for the ceremony. After the ceremony Nathan, Lindsay and I went to the Windsor for a quick drink and to cool down as sitting in the sun during the ceremony had wilted us a little. Then it was on to the Esplanade Suites for a lovely reception. Even the speeches were great and we loved catching up with Nadia and Sean.

We caught up with the family on Sunday afternoon. Nanny Irene didn't know we were in town so it was a nice surprise for her, once she realised we were there. :)
Went to the beach today for the first time. I didn't realise how much I missed swimming in the ocean till I was in it again. It is about 34 today with a light wind and the beach wasn't too busy as it is a Tuesday and most people are back at work now after Christmas holidays. I went in the ocean for a little while but couldn't stay in too long as it was a bit rough. Lindsay had a great time body surfing though.

After the beach we made our way to Joondalup and had a spot of lunch at Corey's restaurant, the Grand Boulevard Tavern. The food was wonderful as usual and walking back to the car with the sun on my back and the wind blowing my dress I couldn't help but think, I could get used to this.
