A Taste of Spring

Justin and I had our first taste of spring this weekend. We celebrated Justin's birthday this past weekend, since this weekend we will be on our trip. On Friday we went out to dinner at a pizza place we have been wanting to try for a long time. It was delicious! The best pizza I have had so far in Australia. We even got a table outside to enjoy the nice weather!

On Saturday, we spent all day planning our Tasmania trip in December/January with Jenny and Ben (Justin's sister and husband). Tasmania is pretty much empty all year long except the exact dates we will be there! Every single hotel is booked in Hobart the nights we want to be there because the Sydney to Hobart yacht race is on and a big festival of some sort is on as well. We did find a nice hostel to stay at so it wasn't too bad. And we got the very last camp site at one of the national parks we are going too! Overall, it took almost 4 hours to get everything book and finalized, but we did it!

After our brains were fried from planning, we headed out to the beach. We took the train to a place called Brighton Beach and walked along the beach to another beach area called Glenelg. It was about an hour long walk and it was beautiful because it was at sunset! Seeing the sunset over the ocean on a beautiful day is something I could get used to! It was a nice and relaxing evening at home!

So this weekend was pretty laid back, since on Thursday we will be heading off to Alice Springs for our big trip to the Outback! We are really excited since this will be our first taste of interstate travel and seeing a real Australian icon...Uluru (Ayers Rock). So be looking our for pictures next week! We miss you all!!
