We were up at the crack of dawn and I jumped out of bed like
there was no tomorrow. Nana and Shelby were having the boys for the night and
my figuring was the sooner I dropped them off and grabbed De the sooner our day
of serenity began! By 9 the switchero was completed and we were heading
somewhere, we didn’t know where, but that didn’t bother us in the slightest!
Being long time Sunrise watchers we skipped the Bunbury
bypass and drove through down town to see what it looked like. Even though it
looked like a nice place to stay the boys were heading there, and whilst we
love them dearly the thought of them accidently meeting us was enough to make
us head further north. The selections were pretty slim pickings but after 5
calls we eventually found a van park in Miami Beach (a lot of the beaches on
this stretch of the coast are named after Florida beaches) where they said
there was a tavern nearby, at the front gate....even better.
It was 1pm by the time we had parked up and had a beer in
hand, but this place was heaven. I must have had some good karma up my sleeve
as this place was perfect, a couple of MASSIVE screens to watch the footy and a
wall full of screens for the TAB, the like I have never seen before. We settled
into beers and wine and had a nice lunch while having a few punts. The Swans
v GWS game was on and while it made good background noise for the first 3/4s
the last ¼ was great, even better that the underdog got up! We headed back for
an afternoon nana nap .

Ready to go again we headed to the Italian restaurant on the
otherside of the driveway (could this place be any better) where we had a
delicious meal. I think we could have easily fed the whole family with just
De’s! We had a great night and really enjoyed having a bit of us time, which is
pretty hard to find when you are so far from home. It made us appreciate all
the more the support that we have from family and friends that we have at home.
