Will and I rented a car this weekend for the first time since we arrived in Airlie. Having the freedom to get things from the supermarket that we previously couldn't (large garbage cans, tank refill for our gas stove) was only part of the excitement for us. Getting out with the wind in our hair, listening to our own music, brought back lots of great memories of just getting out of Calgary for the weekend.
Saturday when we finished our running around we picked up Cathy and Naomi and went to Mackay to see a movie. The girls opted to see Step Brothers, while Will and I saw the new Mummy movie. We had a nice dinner beforehand and did a brief walk around the town. It was lovely just to be somewhere else for the first time in a long time.
Sunday we picked up the girls again, added Tara to the mix and headed to Bowen with the hopes of snorkelling at Horseshoe Bay in mind. Bowen is a sleepy little town about an hour away from Airlie with some of the best beaches and ocean views in the area. Coincidentally, the movie Australia starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman was filmed in Bowen. We had a great lunch, did some snorkelling and lots of suntanning. Here are just a few of the views we enjoyed this weekend.
This weekend also gave Will and I a great chance to scope out some drives and sights we'd like to show his mother and grandmother when they arrive in October.
