At the rate I'm publishing these posts, it seems like my life is super busy and I'm always doing exciting things. The first part is true, but the second is subjective - but I will agree that my life is dynamic and doesn't often include the boredom you get from sitting at home in front of a computer for too long.

The first thing we did when we got there after we checked in was spontaneously go Tobogganing - I've never been before and it's actually ridiculously fun and easy! I have a bit of a need for speed so I ended up going first after I kept braking the first time to stay a safe distance from the person in front of me. We also went grocery shopping - and it's safe to say we did a pretty good job since we managed to clear out the fridge completely.

Day 2: Paddle boarding at 8am in Shoal Bay - we made it after a late night!

We also went paddle boarding the next day - that was actually also really fun even though standing up for the first time on a board was rather scary. I managed to fall in after I started rocking my board to get some cold water on my foot after I hit it with the paddle - but hey the water was nice and cool and it was quite refreshing. I enjoyed the hour so much and I really want to go paddle boarding again - it's such a good low intensity sport but it also requires strength and balance.

And of course a road trip isn't complete without some local sightseeing.

Day 3: View from Gan Gan Lookout.

Day 3: One Mile Beach. We saw a lot of little crustaceans bury themselves in the sand and then attempt to get washed back out to sea! It was fascinating.

Day 3: A long walk on One Mile Beach.

We also went to Anna Bay for Carols by Candlelight - it's the first one that I've been to and they went all out for their nativity play with live sheep, donkey and two camels. Now that I'm older I feel that I have a better understanding of the story and the time frame of the story - when I was younger it seemed like everything happened within a week but in reality, it was over several years.

It was a really enjoyable trip since we got to catch up and spend some quality time together, and I will never forget that the same guy served us when we were buying wine and looked after us when we went tobogganing - and he remembered us too.

Thanks girls for being epic.
