After days and days of going back and forth, we finally decided to go ahead with the road tripping anyway...
despite an invitation to dozens of people, ended up fitting into one small car xD
janice picked up michelle and wynnie and arrived at my house around 11am
we gps-ed it to palm beach and were pretty sure we were following wrong directions for about 10 minutes
no matter, we eventually arrived with a background soundtrack of mariah carey and justin bieber
lol.
Part 1: Palm Beach
first real stop was at palm beach fish and chips where i'm pretty sure i ate one of the best fish'n'chips ever
just, wow. who knew you could actually taste the difference, eh?
then after lunch, we drove up the road to palm beach, where you guess it! it started raining.
and of course the two softies (read: michelle and wynnie) decided to stay in the car
while me and janice went off to frolic in the rain
it was awesome!
eventually our frolicking convinced the power-that-be to give up on the rain so we called the other two out to frolick with us xD
spent a long time taking photos and running around and generally exhausting ourselves in a very good way.
after that, we were supposed to go coffee at some random cafe i'd spotted on the drive up
but WE NEVER FOUND IT!
(one day!)
everyone was pretty tired...one little person in particular (lol)
Part 2: 28 Days Later and Boardgames
When we got back to castle hill, first matter of business was to go grocery shopping
which we did after we spent half an hour at lincraft buying thread for friendship bracelets (lol)
then it was back to the house to watch a movie while we recharged before cooking dinner
Ended up watching 28 days later which was super lolsy to watch with these guys
(for which i'm super glad xDDD)
lots of screaming and hiding under pillows and swearing at how stupid the main character was
love it!
we were so immersed, we didn't even care that lily was about to arrive, despite the fact she thought she'd be arriving after dinner xD
Eventually the movie ended and we cooked dinner (neopolitan spaghetti + roasted chicken + baby spinach 'chips') and talked about the essentials of surviving a zombie attack
Then...
...Boardgame time!
