Burleigh Head

I'm still in Australia and while today was spent at work far from the beach, I have my weekend memories to keep me centered. I think it helps that I lived in Rio for a couple of years and learned that even when you are living in a place where the rest of the world vacations sometimes you have to ignore the beach and get down to business.


I am coming away from this trip with firm offers to teach me to boogie board and maybe even surf on a future visit. Frankly I think that see visions of hilarity in their future if they offer to team the pasty girl from the desert who doesn't swim well to surf.


I finally get a true day off tomorrow - I'm still trying to figure out how to spend it, but I have my fingers crossed that it will be a blast.

Beach House - On the Sea Pin It

Seuss Land?

As we started to drive into Artland, Joanna told me to get my camera ready, because the first installation would take my breath away. She was right!

I don't know how to describe it - but for a minute I felt like I'd entered a real life Dr. Seuss book. The mounds were perfection, and kids and adults were climbing over them and you could almost feel the joy.

The day was perfect - blue skies with fluffy white clouds that just added to the feeling that I was in the middle of the illustration for a beloved children's book.

We didn't get a chance to climb the hills - there was so much else to see that we ran out of time - which just makes me want to make another trip back there again very, very soon.

Have you ever felt like you walked into a place taken from a children's novel?

I'm loving this new one from Beach House: Myth.
