Mt Tamborine

One of our favorite weekend excursions is Mt Tamborine.   The drive is not too long and has gorgeous views of the Gold Coast, and at the top, there are some easy hiking trails for the kids, quirky shops to explore and yummy pies (Matt's favorite reason to go).  We headed up a couple of weekends ago, intending to hike and window shop and, of course, eat pies, but the weather turned on us when we were already on the mountain.  Our clear blue skies turned grey and the hot spring day turned cold.  No worries!  We ate our pies, took refuge in the funny shops, and the children still had a great time. 


My little girl, looking like a true Aussie....

I am glad to read about Julia's improvements. A friend of mine here just had her son's tonsils taken out, and she mentioned the same thing about the colds being much shorter now.
We are heading to Jackson this weekend but probably won't return during the time you're there in November. I hate that. Daniel's brother is getting married Nov 28 in Wheaton, IL, so our Thanksgiving will be spent up there. Maybe next time we'll connect. :)

I remember those good pies on my last birthday.
