Visit to Perth

Kaes and I were fortunate to be able to go back to Perth over the weekend for a visit with some great friends. Kaes flew in on Tuesday for meetings during the week, and I flew after work on Thursday night.

Friday night, we met up at Little Creatures to watch the sunset and enjoy the great food and even better beer. Here is a picture below of several of my old soccer buddies that came out.

Saturday, I met up with my friend Lucy and her sweet baby girl Taylor for coffee before we checked out of the hotel. Kaes and I drove around Fremantle and Cottesloe taking more pictures to help remember our wonderful time there.

Saturday night, we stayed with Sam and Nicole. It was great to catch up with them, and we all gathered around for some great food and laughter.

The gorgeous weather, beautiful beaches, and wonderful friends make us really miss Perth. Our weekend was much needed and it was great to see some dear friends that we have met along the way. We both created some great friendships and loved the easy, laid-back lifestyle that attracts so many people to the beautiful city.
