Yes And: Weekend Getaways, The Opera House, and 30

Whew! We have been busy busy since we returned from Fiji. All fun things of course, but I am looking forward to a little break in travel!

For New Year's, we headed up to the Central Coast for a few days of camping. I had been to this campsite once before but during the winter.. so this was a whole new experience!

(things got a little blurry)

The following weekend we went down the south coast to Jervis Bay for a few days. We stopped in Jervis Bay on our Easter roadtrip a while back, but this time we rented a house and spent the weekend beaching and exploring.

We got up close and personal with some wild stingrays!

Side note: Poor Rudy was bitten by a paralysis tick the week before our trip! His back legs started giving out and he threw up... so I knew something was off. A paralysis tick is only found in Eastern Australia and can be deadly :( Luckily, he was all good to go after two nights in the pet hospital.

He had to take it easy on our trip... but that's ok. More puppy snuggles, please!! Can we go a month with no Wells family members being hospitalized, please?

John's birthday is coming up but since we will be out of town, we celebrated a few days early! An afternoon of food & drinks at The Oaks ( a lovely pub in our neighborhood). John's work friends gave him a very thoughtful gift--- an edible g-string!
