Holiday Snaps- Seaside views and opshop scores!

Do yourself a favour. For your next holiday, or break, or weekend away or day trip or lunch break, head down to Rosebud. It's not far if you live in melbourne now with all the different new roads linking people to other places in an instant. That's where we went for a weeks holiday with my hubby, percy boy, sister, mum, my twin brother and his lovely gal, oh and Yahoo, the dog! Besides having the beach at the end of the road where we stayed (and really anywhere in Rosebud your not far), there are also about 8 opshops, that we could find, in the area. Then once you've spent all your pennies at those, jump in your car and drive for another 10 min to rye then onto sorrento for another few opshops. Well thats what we did anyway! It was a fabulous week away with walks on the beach, opshopping, card games, eating out, watching movies and just all being together. Here are some of my holiday snaps!
