Sweet Sweet Summertime

Geographe Bay
The heat is back and the beach is calling. Oh, summer, how I missed you!

The past few weeks have been filled with preparations for trips and departures, but now that work is finished and all my packing is complete, it is time to enjoy my holiday! I completed my au pair work on Friday and jumped right into enjoying my new found freedom, a.k.a. unemployment. :) It hasn't quite set in that I'm not going to be working and playing with those wonderful kiddos again, but luckily I have some spectacular adventures planned to keep me a bit preoccupied for the time-being.


Lunch at Brookwood
Knotting Hill
This weekend I was treated to a lovely little day trip by my wonderful boyfriend. On Sunday, Brad and I ventured down south to Busselton/Geographe Bay and Margaret River to sample some tasty wines. What a gorgeous day it was! The best company, delicious wine, and great food made for an awesome trip. We went to 4 wineries (Hay Shed, Howling Wolves, Knotting Hill, and Tassell Park) and the Margaret River Chocolate Factory all before finishing at Brookwood Estate for a fabulous lunch and more wine. :) Too bad I'm leaving the country in a few short weeks or I would have picked out a few more bottles and probably even more chocolate!

Brookwood Estate
Tomorrow I set out on another adventure. Brad and I leave midday for Melbourne. It's going to be so much fun and I cannot wait! I'm such a lucky girl to have a boyfriend that takes me to such amazing places. :)

Check back to see updates about my adventures in Melbourne as well as my last few weeks in Australia! Much love!!
