Billy's Birthday Celebration in Torquay

This last weekend we had a lot to celebrate, including my 30th birthday and Kersti handing in her last assignment for her Master’s! So we rented a beautiful house down in Torquay, a beach town about an hour and a half out of Melbourne. About 15 of our friends came down for the weekend, and we had a blast with excellent meals, time at the beach enjoying the sun and the boogie boarding, and just a little bit of partying at night as well. It turns out that I can still party like I’m 29! The weekend was an amazing success, no surprise given Kersti’s careful planning as always.

Light as a feather, stiff as a board…
