On Mike’s birthday we woke up and headed straight out to the dunes. We were camping at Myall Lakes where big sandy dunes separate the sea from the bush.
We ran around a bit before things started to feel a bit too familiar. We joked that if you angled the camera to avoid the ocean… it looked just like the desert of Abu Dhabi.
Later in the day we drove up the coast to Port Macquarie. We checked out the lighthouse and the amazing view of Lighthouse Beach.
In the evening I decorated our hotel room while Mike was out. We decided to splurge on a meal out in honor of his birthday (but still ended up splitting it… everything is just so expensive!)
After dark we took a surprisingly delicious chocolate cake out on the beach to celebrate with candles and sparklers. It’s a good thing I stocked up on birthday supplies a few days before while he wasn’t looking!
Happy Birthday, Mike!
