NOOSA

This weekend's trip to the beach was fantastic. It took about 4 hours to get there by a combination of buses and trains (Transportation Committee was on top of it). We rented a villa, which was this 2 story house with a kitchen, a bunch of beds, and an L-shaped couch (only the best of the couch options). The villa is right off the the main street in the town, where all the shops and restaurants are, but more importantly, it's a mere 5 minute walk to the beach.


The prospect of our own kitchen was thrilling, as we haven't seen a home cooked meal in months. Thus we made pasta, salad, and garlic bread. And by we, I mean the Dinner Committee (of which I had no part, but come on, this is no surprise if you know me at all). No worries, though, I was on clean up crew and man, am I a skilled dish-washer. All those years of doing the dishes have really trained me well.

We spent the majority of our time on the beach, obviously. It's a touristy place, so there were tons of people around. A lot of families with little kids, who were adorable to watch. Everyone in Australia wears hats because, awesome news, the hole in the ozone layer is directly above us. Skin cancer runs rampant here. Even I have taken to wearing sunscreen and that is big.


We buried Biagio in the sand one afternoon. Turns out, there was a wedding going on and we were directly in the aisle. To be fair, there was no announcement of said wedding and the aisle was not marked in any way. Only when the bride walked past us did we realize we were being 5 year olds as a beautiful, life-changing ceremony was going on next to us.


We also played a game, appropriately titled Sock Head, where you throw a sock and try to get it to land on someone's head. I told you, we are 5.

All photo credit is due to Xtine. I have basically stopped taking pictures because someone else is always on top of it. Instead I pop in as many as possible, hence the ridiculously high number of tagged pics in the past 9 weeks. Anywa, this was one of the best weekends I've had in Australia. I could easily live in Noosa. Oh, and not to brag or anything, but morale was out of this world this weekend. I take my role seriously.
