Trip to the beach part 1

Warning: picture heavy. And if you're wondering about the quality of the pics, they were all taken with our point-and-shoot camera as I've shipped my SLR cameras.

This country is so beautiful! And we're still enjoying the weather (about 16 degrees):

We got into Grant's pride and joy (a Mazda 6) ...

... and went for a drive to the beach. We are in a lovely town with everything we need nearby and then we drive literally a few streets over and we're driving through this:

We are surrounded by farmland:

We stopped at Coburne Reserve but didn't stay long as the ground was very wet and muddy. Plus we wanted to get to the beach.

This is supposed to be winter?! Check out what we were wearing:

We soon continued on to the beach, which I'll put in a separate post - it was AMAZING. But I have a million pics to share and this post is picture heavy enough, so stay tuned.

  1. Can I please come visit? I promise to do the dishes, cook food and babysit the boys.

    It looks heavenly there! I can tell you are all on cloud 9. Think of all the work and stress it took to get here? Can you believe you finally made it? :)

    So the Mazda 6 is so nice (I wanted a Mazda 3 for a while and my mom drives at Mazda hatch back, so fun.) So what will you be driving, or will you and Grant share?

    Those beaches are incredible! I know you'll be happy when you get your slr :)
