Thankful

I had a fantastic birthday weekend.  It was the perfect way to usher in my 30th year.  I knew that I didn't want to have a big get together with too many drinks.  My Aussie's gift away was the perfect birthday present.  Nelson's Bay was beautiful and set amongst tree-covered mountain islands and bright blue water.  It is winter here so I have to get used to celebrating my birthdays in the cooler weather versus the hot, summer months in the States.  But the sun shined the entire weekend.  I took quite a few pictures but I'll just include a sampling for you below.  Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I'd like to think that after my Thursday night meltdown, I gracefully and respectfully welcomed my 30th year with love and anticipation.


Our view- we later climbed that mountain in the distance.

Quite chilly and windy climbing Mount Tomaree, with Shoal Bay in the background.

This is the view from one side of the Mount Tamaree, down into the Nature Preserve and popular surf spot.

We are at the summit and thoroughly windblown.

The view from the other side.  Stunning!


Just finished my hourlong massage and on to some Moet.



Right before our awesome 7-course tasting menu at Merretts.

I'll never have to worry about getting old.  My Aussie will keep me forever young at heart.  We had to stop and play mini golf and do the batting cages.


Watch out, David Ortiz!!
