Well we survived the Australia Day long weekend with two dogs and no catastrophes. We spent four days at Dicky Beach which is about an hour north from our house. We stayed in a small three bedroom dog-friendly house about 200 metres up the road from the beach. It was an older looking house with 80s looking décor, but it was clean, bright and cheap and exactly what we were looking for.
I ended up forgetting to pack the digital camera so I bought a disposable camera to take some pictures. I’d forgotten what it was like to take a picture and not be able to view it straight away. Now I have to wait to finish the film before I can get them developed and loaded on the website.
Australia Day (Jan 26) was extremely hot. The house didn’t have air conditioning so we spent the majority of the day lying in front of the fans. We went to the beach for a quick swim to cool down after lunch. The rest of the weekend we spent going for walks on the beach, going into town (which is really just one street lined with shops), and reading. We took Ruby and Winston for walks down on the beach and Ruby loved it. We tried coaxing her into the water but she was too scared of the waves. She looks like a drowned rat when wet (literally because she is so small). Overall it was a nice relaxing holiday.
I’ve come to the realisation that once we start a family (I mean a human one, not the four legged kind), we are going to have to either buy a bigger car or buy some kind of trailer because from the look of the car with us and two dogs, there was no way we were going to fit a baby car seat and other baby paraphernalia in there as well. I guess we'll jump that hurdle when we get to it.
