January 20 - Around the Bay

In order for everyone to get the full idea of this days events, I will have to get Seth to put a map of our trip on here.

We started by heading to Geelong to the beach. I wanted to see these wooden statues that are all along the waterfront. I know we didn't see very many of them but they were pretty funny.



We had lunch and walked along the water.



They had built a pier type structure that went around a big swimming area. There were quite a few swimmers on this day. I think this little wheel is funny. The kids were laying on it and then letting it roll. There must have been a more graceful way to do it because everyone we saw smacked some part of their body.



And more statues . . .





Next stop . . . a brewery. Go figure. We didn't have too much stuff in the car so we were able to bring home some beer and lots of wine.





We made a little side trip but we ended up going to the lighthouse. Since Seth and I have walked around the lighthouse we took the kids down to the beach to run around in the sand.



Quick drive to the ferry and we relaxed while the boat took us across the bay (we couldn't drive across but this was close enough).




On the other side we had dinner at a pizza place Seth and I have been to. Sorento was one of the few places we have been camping.

After dinner we just started the long drive home. It took us several hours and the kids on either side of me were awake the entire time. They went to bed fairly easily once we got home. Jaime and Michelle spent the rest of the evening packing for their family trip to Sydney.

The wood statues around the bay were very interesting. I enjoyed seeing the pictures. Also, the pictures of the kids. Looks like you all were having a really good time.
