For our final full day, we headed down to the racetrack! It was a fabulous way to start the New Year and end our time in Australia. While I was only placing $1-$2 bets, I walked away with $83 in winnings (minus the amount spent on the bets; I still walked away with more money than when I went in!) Mom had kindly purchased a fascinator for me, and I think it's going to become part of my everyday wardrobe.
Cole thought he had lost...
Dad was put up to the challenge of wearing a tux. He was by far the most handsomely dressed.
It was a great send off, and we capped off the day by taking a bottle of wine down to the beach to watch the sunset. I'm on my way there now, for my last dip in the Indian Ocean. We have an 11 hour flight to Dubai and a 10.5 hour layover! With any luck, we'll get some vertical sleep during that time.
Thanks for reading, and Happy New Year in the States!
