Roadtrip

It has been a long time since we've gone on a vacation so we decided that we should do something this long weekend.  Carla did some searching and found us a beautiful cottage on the beach near Coffs Harbour.  We rented a Yaris and packed for a roadtrip!  Here is a link to a Google Maps page showing our drive.  http://tinyurl.com/ivanblog01


The drive took a while (over seven hours) but we took our time and made quick detours to visit Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour.  Port Macquarie reminded us of Kingston, due to its retiree population, but the beaches and scenery were amazing.  Coffs Harbour is a really nice resort town with a lot to do.


We only arrived at our cottage last night.  After we unpacked, we walked to the beach and were amazed by the number of stars in the sky.  You just don't see that kind of sight leaving in a city.  It was amazing!  


Our cottage has been renovated recently and looks great.  We have a small kitchen and a barbecue outside.  Since we don't have a barbecue at home, we are going to make sure we grill some burgers while we are here.


Well, we're off to the beach.  Swimming and sun tanning.  That's what I call a perfect recipe for a relaxing Saturday.
