The tree is up, it's 150 cm tall and has fibre optic lights built in. Not too tall, just the right size for our place. My little helper was really excited with decorating it. He even chose the theme. Smart eh?

 

P & J came up from Sydney to celebrate J's big 3-0. A weekend full fun and surprises. H and I had dinner with P & J. P was left at hotel with a lovely sitter. And because J loaned him his PS portable game console, P was glued to it the whole night. But he did manage to have a bit of a read and colouring said S, out sitter for the night. I think I might get her again when we go down the coast. Schoolies was on, which we all forgot when we booked our holiday. I don't mind crowds, but hoards for screaming year 12's was a bit TOO much. I ended up having a headache before we called it a night. P arranged for special gift for he hubby, which he enjoyed FULLY till the end.  E came to join us for drinks. We had a full day and by the time it was half past 12 I was buggered.
Day 2 was spent at Movie World. I went on the Escape, 0-100 km/h in 2 secs was beyond terrifying for me. I screamed my lungs out, half way through the ride I closed my eyes. H said I shouldn't have done that. But the speed was just zooom! I did enjoy it. Maybe next time I'll ride it again, provided that it's the 1st ride of the day and that I have not eaten 30 mins before. Heaps of things to do, Shrek 4D was fantastic, P got scared, but eventually got over it. Eating at Ric's Cafe American was neat, a replica of the cafe from Casablanca. They even had the piano, but it was a miniature version of it. Then we went to The Matrix Exhibit, that was awsome! Props and some of the sets from the movie was on exhibit. One of Morpheus's costume was a Bonds singlet!  Taking photos was allowed, so we pretended to be in the movie. We saw The Police Academy stunt show, which was a bit of a laugh and half. Overall it was a long and fun day. It didn't matter that we were walking for a few hours just discovering what the theme park had to offer.

Monday was our very last chance to frolic in the beach. We were only there for a few hours and I got sun brunt. P didn't want to come home, he wouldn't leave the beach!
Harbour Town is a huge shopping complex. With designer labels every where, it's pretty easy for one to spend oodles and oodles of moolah! I would have done the same, having H around detered me from spending. This complex is yet to be explored by moi, that would happen sometime soon.
Driving back was quick, by the time I got to sit down on the couch I just slumpped. Good news though, I didn't get an "asthma" attack over the weekend. That is a GOOD holiday.

P & J's return flight got pushed till late monday evening. They should have stayed the night at our place they could have seen Brissie.
