We split up…

…for the weekend that is. Carey and her girlfriends took a trip down to Melbourne, leaving Greg and the guys at home to live the bachelor life. The girls had been planning this trip for a little while now so when the weekend finally arrived there was some obvious excitement in the air. Immediately after exiting the plane in the Melbourne airport the festivities began. As a sign of what the weekend had in store there just happened to be free wine samples available for all airport patrons. Both Friday and Saturday night were as you would expect…lots of drinking, lots of dancing and lots of laughing. There were however a few surprises, such as when the girls spontaneously decided to join in on a rendition of Oasis’ Wonderwall with one of Melbourne’s street folk or the hour or so spent trying to capture the perfect action hair shot as seen in the pictures below. And while the nights were filled with drinking and dancing, the days were spent doing what girls tend to do when they get together…shopping. Luckily, Carey’s friend Ali is a fashion designer so the girls got to play dress up and enjoy their own personal stylist for a full day while shopping in some of Melbourne’s most trendy boutiques. All in all it was the perfect girls weekend.



While Carey and the girls had an exciting weekend down in Melbourne, Greg and the guys opted for the more laid back approach in Sydney. Friday night consisted of a mellow night at the pub followed by some Saturday morning golf. Greg then, deciding to take advantage of having the apartment to himself for the weekend, had the guys over Saturday night for some poker and pizza. And while a good time was had by all, Greg somehow managed to lighten his wallet both on the golf course and at the card table. Guess it turns out that shopping and partying in Melbourne actually is less expensive than golfing and playing cards in Sydney.
