A yarn-bombed tree at a pitstop in Echuca

On the road again. This time we headed to Canberra, Australia's capital city. The first day of our journey took us to Yarrawonga, where we dropped off the boys with a friend and had a fun evening, cooking dinner on an out of control barbecue on the edge of a beautiful lake. Then Pasca and Maeve and I went for a stroll along the lake's edge, enjoying the gorgeous light of the "golden hour" and just being silly. You'll see...

Echuca is famous for it's paddle boats

We are models

After many hours in the car and no real lunch, our quick dinner of burgers and the like was SO GOOD

We were more than delighted to be out of the car. Can you tell?! And in such a picturesque setting! Great start to the trip.

Teeth are placed in a glass of water for the tooth fairy here, no creeping into bedrooms and looking under pillows down under! 

With a new marble tabletop in the kitchen, Mary was placed outside, and possum church was created! 

Just a little sample of the music I've been digging lately. Happy listening!
