Yesterday was a beautiful day, despite what the weather channel said about rain. We went to the beach in Manly and enjoyed the sunshine. Tyson spent the last of his Australian money, it was burning a hole in his wallet, so he needed to get rid of it. He now has representation from all the surf brands in his wardrobe. It's funny how so much changes in a sort period of time. There was a time when he didn't even know what a name brand was, and now he's well aware of what one is, namely more expensive!
While the boys were shopping, Pearl and I played in the water fountains along the walkway. It was her last opportunity to get wet before leaving for home. I don't know what I'm going to do when we have to put clothes back on her, not sure if she's going to like it.
We then headed over to Curl Curl Beach to meet Marilyn for a coffee. She likes this shop as it sits right on the beach over looking the ocean. We enjoyed some treats and good conversation. The boys took a final dip in the ocean and the three ladies went for a walk along boardwalk.
We then headed back to the Wilson's to start packing and get ready for the journey home. We sure will miss Australia and all it includes. This has been a wonderful trip for our family and has created a lifetime of memories for the four of us. It will great to look back at it together and plan for another one over the many Tim Tams we just bought. (You wouldn't believe all the kinds they have here)
Marilyn made us a delicious fish pie dinner and we enjoyed one last meal around the table together. Kristi and Stu made a surprise visit back to 5 Finch Place to say good bye which was really nice. So, we stayed up later than we anticipated and got our last bits of conversation in, before we need to use Skype and email to stay in touch.
Although, there are no plans in the works that we know about for our next visit together, I know it won't be long...
