Australia Day Weekend!

HAPPY FEBRUARY EVERYBODY!

hah, yeah I know I'm 10 days late. So sorry it has been forever since I have last written, lets say about.... A very long time!

As some of you may know, I went on a holiday for the Australia Day weekend, this consistent of me driving 4 hours up to Albury, NSW on the Friday afternoon and then participating in a swimming carnival on the Saturday morning.

This was a lot of fun, besides the fact that I got sun burnt, one of the many times over the 6 week holidays. Damn you sun rays.

Not only did I swim, but I also got to spend time with my best friend, Kadek, (which you can check out her blog here)

Here is a boring rundown of what went on!

Saturday:
Waking up far too early for my brain to handle, I travelled very slowly with my brother up stairs to the restaurant which was attached to the hotel. As this has been a tradition for about 8 years, there was always fruit, EVERY SINGLE YEAR! That was all I ate for breakfast, with some yogurt, (apple and cinnamon, which was yummo.) Oh and not to mention the raisin toast! Hah! I have a very big breakfast, but I had to make up for the fact that I probably was going to miss lunch due to swimming.

Walking back downstairs I got my bathers on and threw some clothes over the top to then go shopping with My brother, Kadek, her mum and her 2 cousins. I don't think my brother was very happy, but he came anyways just to get his hair wax which had run out days before us leaving. (with that, he had been using paw paw ointment in his hair as a supplement... right.)

Getting home we then had a few hours to get ready and go to the swim. Swimming in many races, including: 25m, 50m, Brace Pairs, RSL entitlement.

Kadek and I literally rushed home to make sure we had a decent enough time to get ready for the presentation night. Getting ready took roughly about 45- 1 hour. Just 'cause I'm slow.

My beautiful family, except my brother. 

Kadek and I

Oh that cool trophy, Shaylene!

The winning relay team. 

Sunday:

Swimming in the Murray cod swimming race/carnival, I unfortunately did not win anything this time, hah! But after that we all went back to our rooms and then was just relaxing thank god. I fell asleep for a couple hours then got woken up to realise we were going down to the Murray River to swim, cool.

Every other year we had gone to the Murray River NOT on Australia Day, but this year it was packed! People everywhere! But hardly any in the water. Word of advice: Don't taste the water, it is horrible!

That late afternoon I went back to the hotel room and then got ready for my traditional movie date with Kadek and Jill, her mum. But this year, her two cousins tagged along as well.

Saving Mr. Banks. If I was to give it a star review... 5 flipping stars! Made me want to watch Mary Poppins though, but it wasn't a bad thing.

Monday:

The very much dreaded drive back home! 4 hours which worked out to be a total of 5 and a bit with all the stops. We survived, even with myself driving!

So sorry this was a boring welcome to my month of February but it will try and get better!

Peace out!
