Melbourne–Australia, Part II

After our little trip to paradise, we headed to Melbourne where winter is in FULL swing…I thought this Alaska girl would feel right at home…and during the day, I was…but at night, FORGET it…I’ll take my balmy nights any day!!!  This was a great city and so much fun to hang out in “suburbs” again, hit a real shopping mall, and feel like a normal person…like clothes that are size S or M, fit me…not a XXXL that is skin tight…we spent a few days “playing” in the malls, hitting parks, riding scooters, taking river walks AND scoping out the only Starbucks within 100 KM of my person!!!

We stayed with one of my very best friend’s sisters house and the boys and I got to all sleep in the same bed…something we haven’t done since we lived in the states…

…and I can’t talk about travelling to Melbourne without sharing these photos…(there were 25 of us…so don’t think this is just us!)

…and let’s not forget about my tropical babies…who would NOT wear their coats…these are their faces because I had just them on them…

It was a WONDERFUL time…great friends, great people, great country…who knows what our next adventure holds???

Until then…G’day mate!!  (sorry, couldn’t help myself…and just so you know…they REALLY do say that!)
