Queensland

If I tried to loosely compare the two Australian cities we've visited this trip, I'd say Sydney resembles San
Francisco (minus all the homeless people) and Queensland reminds me of San Diego.

I can't say we've thoroughly enjoyed our time here so far, but it's getting better. I took Luke to the doctor this morning after two days of fever, whining and awful coughing. He has a "massive ear infection" and a bronchial infection, as diagnosed by an Australian doctor who might love America more than anyone I've ever met. Now on meds, Luke is already improving. What is it with these boys and their traveling illnesses??

The place we are staying at is a kids paradise and the worst nightmare of anyone with out kids. There are two water park-like areas, a swimming pool, and indoor play structure, outdoor playground and much more. While I want to rip my hair out at times from all the kids, I am 98% loving the fact that our boys can BE BOYS here an no one cares! Today they took part in a costume parade...a perfect time to show off their Santa gifts!

The weather hasn't been ideal, but I refuse to complain because it's not humid! We've spent time on the water slides, playing in our room, walking near the beach and trying to soak in happy moments wherever we can. With Luke on the mend, the next six days look much brighter.

My morning walk with Drew...heaven!


I'm loving all of this great Australian coffee!


Our hotel is in Surfers Paradise. There are many beach areas within Queensland/Brisbane. This is probably the most touristy, well-known spot, but surprisingly quite quiet this week.
