Melbourne Cup
Nov 9th, 2005 by john
On our anniversary we met up with some friends at the local horse racing park to celebrate the Melbourne Cup.
We got all dressed up (colette even bought a hat) and went with our chairs and esky to Corbould Park to watch the ponies.
Unfortunately, about 18,000 other people had the same idea!
What a zoo!
45 minutes waiting in line to get beer & champagne! That’s an outrage.
But, we won $75 and I got sunburned so it wasn’t a wasted day.
This weekend we’re really celebrating by going down to the Gold Coast Hinterland to stay at the Camelot Magical Retreat. It’s our first trip to the Gold Coast region (which is only a little over 2 hours away – we’re such slackers) so it should be fun. The Gold Coast is Australia’s equivalent of Miami Beach or Orlando. It’s home to all the theme parks and trendy hotels.
This is Dad and the pictrue look great and I show Mom how to do the slide show. it look like it was hot there. Oh Co I like the hat you look good in a hat.
Love Dad
