Travels

This past weekend we had planned on a long weekend in Mooloolaba, but unfortunately the rains decided to fall, so we had to cancel. So, in the spirit of making lemonade, we decided to rent a car and drive up to Eumundi to take in the amazing markets they have on Saturdays. We were told to get there early, so we left at 6:30 to start our 90 minute drive to this wonderfully quaint town about 20 minutes inland from the coast. The markets are absolutely amazing. With more than 600 stalls selling everything from local produce, art, clothing, jewelry, there's something for everything. The markets have a strong focus on homemade goods, so almost everything you see if grown or made locally, which makes this experience even more enjoyable. Even though the rain was coming down, we really enjoyed walking through the stalls and eyeing all the goodies. We ended up buying some muffins, bread, and a few postcards from a local Aboriginal artist. I'm sure we'll make an effort to go back to these markets and the wonderfully artsy and quaint town. Unfortunately, we didn't snap any pictures of the markets because we were too busy trying to stay dry. But, on the way home, we took a scenic drive through the Glass House Mountains, where I managed to snap a picture of Chris in front of Mt. Coonowrin. I think he looks very handsome.

If you're ever along the Sunshine Coast, make sure to head to Eumundi to take in the markets. We guarantee you won't be disappointed...or go home hungry!
