This is the very nice view from our hotel room in Surfer's Paradise; we're on the 29th floor and the sunrises are pretty awesome, as the last picture shows. Wasn't quick enough with getting the camera to get all the gorgeous colors before the sun actually came up over the horizon.

Here's Chris pointing to what else...McDonald's! And yes, we did eat there Sunday for lunch; you know him and his compulsion with McD's on Sundays!! And our hotel is just to the left of him; how much closer could we get?

I went up to the Observation Deck of Q1, the tallest residential tower in the world with a couple of the other wives who are here, but also not going to the talks. It was on the 77 and 78th floors. Awesome views!

We'll keep you all posted over the next couple weeks.

Cheers mates!

These are from our tour of the Budweiser factory in St. Louis. The Clydesdale's are enormous! There's a man standing on the other side of this one; you can see his legs and just how big these horses are. Chris can now add "Honorary Beermaster" to his list of titles (he even received a diploma for it!) after test-tasting fresh-brewed and "skunky" beer. Cheers!

This is Chris and me at the old Busch stadium after the last game ever played there and the next picture is at the new stadium this year on our anniversary...and yes, we are on the field, thanks to a childhood friend of Chris'...thanks, Aaron!!

We are getting ready for our trip to Australia and I was just wanting to see how easy it is to do this so bear with me. It might be that we don't end up doing this at all while on the trip, so this is just a trial.
