Gold Coast, Australia…

Now the theme parks are great…but they really don’t do justice to the beauty of the Gold Coast…I mean, you can go the theme parks all over the world…but it’s not very many places that I can say, “This is THE best beach I’ve ever been on…”…Seriously…the sand, the sky, the water, the people…it was perfectly beautiful!!!  The sand was the softest, fluffiest, most luxurious I’ve had touch my toes…and I’ve been to a lot of beaches in the world!!!  Aside from the beach, the entire area was perfect…like in a freakish way…no rubbish lying around, city planning was great, parks everywhere…that boardwalk was BEGGING me to take a run!  I LOVED it there!

Our last morning, the boys and I headed to McDonalds, got breakfast and hit the beach…I gotta say, without Starbucks around, I was enjoying the McDonald’s café coffees…not too shabby…or maybe I was just needing my caffeine fix…or maybe it is just the Australian McD’s…???

The boys loved the sand in their toes, chasing birds and the water splashing…a PERFECT morning!

I couldn’t stop taking pictures of this perfect place…it was a mix of Honolulu, San Diego and Santa Barbara…ALL of my favorite places…If it wasn’t so darned expensive, I would suggest that be our new home!!!
