Brisbane trip and Gala night

Sofia woke up at about 6.30am and I got her. We had brekky and then Mike and I packed and got ready (cleaning up so it looks nice when we get back) whilst Sofia played. Then we said goodbye to Pablo and bundled our luggage and Sofia into the car and drove to Brisbane. It was about 11am and it didn’t take long for Sofia to fall asleep. Unfortunately she only slept for 45minutes.

Mike dropped me off at the hairdresser for my appointment at 12.30 that I just made on time. They did my hair and make-up. I was very happy with the result. Then I met up with Mike and Sofia at the hotel. We had a very late lunch at around 3pm at an Irish pub. It was very nice, and they even had a high chair (very clean :)). Sofia ran around and went straight for the dance floor where she put on a few moves and spun around a bit. Then she went up to each and every one in the pub for a smile and some attention. We left and got back to the hotel. Sofia ran around and investigated a bit and then I gave her dinner at 4.30pm! After that we gave her a bath and had her in bed by 5.30pm. She was crying and crying. I had to go back in, but she didn’t want me to console her – she wanted up… She was soooo tired though. When I left the room the second time it didn’t take long before it was quiet. Al was there at that stage. Mike and I got changed quickly and then we had a beer together before we left for the Gala. So nice of Al to come and baby sit. He took the monitor into his room next door because he could hear her from there. 
The Gala was fun. Food was ok. Dress was comfortable, but shoes were not. Mike and Mark got an award: The Chairmans award! Yeah, very proud of the boys :). When we got back we said hi to Al for a little while before going back to the room. As we were getting into bed 
Sofia woke up crying and I had to go in and console her. She was ok after that.
