Our first two weeks in Perth were jam packed with action and excitement as we explored the sites in and around the city. Many of our activities centred around the beach, including surfing lessons for Craig and the girls, boogie boarding, body surfing, sun tanning and collecting seashells for beading. Everyone enjoyed the tours at Freemantle Prison, A.Q.U.A (aquarium), and Caversham Wildlife Park. Jenna and Kristin loved being up close and personal with the kangaroos and koalas, although the Shearing Shed provided much entertainment. (Ask Jenna to do her sheep impersonation.) Finally, shopping was a huge hit. Jenna has been into almost every surf shop in the area, while Kristin was in her glory at Supre. (You got it right, Uncle Tom!) The Margaret River Chocolate Factory and the gelato shop at Hillary's Marina were also favourites. So good in fact that we made repeat visits to both.

I'm thinking that Craig's daughter came down for the holidays!!! If I'm right, that is one lucky girl-- and a chance to surf with Dad. Doesn't get much better than that.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I've not been much of a worker this year--and won't be working in Jan. either. I'm off to Spokane for the American figure skating trials. It will be hard to imagine the cold from where you two are!!! haha
