Family holiday to Brisbane begins.

We left Tassie on Wednesday morning and it was cold raining and grey, I'm not trying to make it sound horrid I love this kind of weather, however we knew a warm sunny QLD awaited us.

The plane trip was uneventful expect the bill for the food on the plane.....
We went straight to my parents over 50's independent resort style living complex, it was just beautiful. After some finnish meat pies and karjalanpiirakka we hit the pool and spa. The sense of community was so friendly and inviting and yep bang on 5pm they were all walking down to the restaurant to share a meal together, a Seinfeld episode came to mind.

The rest of the day and evening looked like this.
A drive by the old school, house, Springwood Conservation park and neighbourhoood had us all reminising of days gone by.
Berrinba East State School fundraising wine was on offer at Sami & Vicki's.
Dinner at Kam Koon was exceptional with a few rounds of Chinese whispers with 5 adults and 7 children made for some interesting and fun whispers!!
So with 6 kids, a bicycle and a our luggage crammed into the delica we headed down the M1 to Vicky Pt only to be confronted by road works so the trip was extended a little by going the back way through Shailer Park.
Our heads finally hit the pillows at 12ish and with our holiday off to a great start I was so happy to be here.
