A leisurely evening of whiplash.

This trip to Australia has been all about crossing off items on my proverbial "to-do" list. Well I had to break out the writing utensils after going to the Australian Open last week. For those of you that don't know, the Oz Open is one of the four "grand slams" of tennis (yes, I like tennis!!) in the world, along with the U.S. Open, Wimbledon and the French Open. We were all pretty excited that the Open was in town during our stay here so we jumped at the chance to go.











The way it works is that you buy the tickets for a certain timeslot but you don't know who you're going to see until the night before. We ended up seeing Maria Sharapova from Russia (ranked 4th in the world) play the American Ashley Harkleroad and then David Nalbandian from Argentina (also ranked 4th in the world) play Stanislas Wawrinka from Switzerland.







Overall it was a great time. We started off with nosebleed seats and ended up sneaking down to the fourth row for the second half of the men’s match.
