There's no place like home

As I drive down the highway, the sunlight in my eyes, the call of the beach of the horizon and music playing from my radio my mind replays memories from Monday night. I went to the plough inn because Monday nights they have a rib special for twenty six dollars and the meal is so large that you can share between two people. There was live music so I chose a table near the stage and sang along to the words. I looked over to the bar and saw Steve smiling at me, instead of being embarressed of him catching me singing in public I just smiled back and kept singing. The table across from us requested the singer to play, waltzing matilda. Most random request but he agreed. And it was a beautiful moment, the whole venue sang along during the chorus.  Waltzing Matilda. Waltzing Matilda.You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me. He sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled. You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me. I can't help but smile at the memory, the whole pub singing along with the singer. The guy that requested it sang along through the whole song.  Its a moment I look back on fondly. The destination of this drive today is Cabarita. A coastline town in NSW. It's a beautiful location.  Today will be my second time there. The first time was earlier thia year when I was bridesmaid to my childhood friend. The reason for this day trip is it was Mum's birthday yesterday. Yesterday I took her to this cafe in Capalaba, named Whiskey Business. We ordered Doffles for breakfast. Donut crossed with waffles. It was so good! This cafe also had a macron shop that had the best flavours, ranging from: red skin, lamingtons, clinkers and more. We then ended Mums birthday night at a little French Restaurant in Fortitude Valley called: Madame Rouge. It was a little expensive but great service, delicious food and amazing drinks. It caused us a little bit of a late start this morning, to many drinks last night but we are now on the highway. When we reached Cabarita we started with lunch at the Salt Bar Beach Bar and Bistro for lunch, the food was average but sitting out on the deck was nice. We then went to Mum and Dads hotel, Santai Resort, which is beautiful, I recommend staying here. I slipped into my swimmers and found my place next to the pool. When I got back to Brisbane I got girled up and headed into Fortitude Valley. I went to this nightclub called: Holey Moley. Its actually really cool. Its a putt putt range. I love miniature golf! I mean I suck but it was so fun. A golf range in a night club, whats funner than that.  After working up an appetite by losing at putt putt, we continued onto Les bubbles which has mouthwatering cooked to perfection steaks. And the creme burlee is to die for. We ended the night at Greaser where they play live music every Friday night, be sure to order a Whiskey apple. Everyone complains that Brisbane is boring but thats only if you don't go exploring.
