More Adventures with Dad

"Are yous from America?"

Dad woke up at 3 AM today to catch his flight back to the States. He has quite the trip ahead of him. He is first off to Brisbane, and then catches a connecting flight back to LA.

Here are some more pictures from our trip to the Whitsundays:

Something happened with the reservation, and...

When we got back into Townsville:

^Dad and I on Castle Hill^
That's Magnetic Island behind us.

The next day Dad and I were going to go to Magnetic Island, but the forecast called for rain, so we ran some errands and explored more of Townsville from our convertible.

^Dad and I conveniently caught the end^
of a car show at the Strand.

At one point during the day we went to a store called Crazy Clark's. When the cashier heard us talking, she asked "Are yous from America?" And we responded with, "Yes." The girl then said, "I like the American accent." And then dad said with a grin, (as he always does when someone says something about our accent), "We don't have an accent, you're the one with the accent."

Back from the Whitsundays

"OOOO... AHHH..."

Dad and I got back from our "sailing trip" today, and overall it was a really great time! However, there was some drama with the boat and crew. So while it wasn't perfect, the group we were with (and the fact that we were in the Whitsundays) made up for it. We met people from England, Germany, Norway, and America, just to name a few. Again, we had a good time.

^Sunset from Mount Stewart^

Dad an I are off to the Whitsunday Islands tomorrow for a sailing trip. We will get back on Saturday afternoon. Check back then... thanks!

Halloween!

"Where is your swimcap?"

Sorry for the hastiness of this post, I've been turning in projects, giving presentations, and getting ready for my dad to get here. It's been kinda hectic

For Halloween me and two friends of mine dressed up as the blueman group. We had to explain ourselves a lot.... Someone even asked me where I swimcap was. Then I had to explain how the blueman group memebers are all bald, and Tristam and Drew aren't shaving their heads. Anyway enough of that, onto the picture:
