Home
Saturday 22nd September
Our plane departed 00.35am and arrived in Melbourne a little before 6am. We found the lights were not dulled until about 3/4 of the way through our trip. This caused us not to get much sleep at all. By the time we arrived home we were a blurr. Hubby and I went and had a nap for 1 hour in the afternoon so we could get the rest of the unpacking done and start organising ourselves. D2 had meals cooked for us and actually had food to go for the next couple of days. She is wonderful and it was a great help. We crawled into bed again about 9pm.

Last Night
Friday September 21st
After loading up the car we travelled out to Freemantle with plans to go through the submarine. Because the day was really windy they were not taking tours on the submarine so we settled for a coffee there in a lovely cafe set up in front of the building. We had a little drive around Freemantle and then headed out to Ellenbrook. It was enjoyable to drive around all the new housing blocks being set up and noticed how many had filled out considerably since our last trip. We had lunch at Dome. When we left Dome to head back to the car we could hardly walk because of the strong wind and rain.
In our travels about we called into the Margaret River Chocolate Shop. The place was a buzz of activity, people everywhere. We enjoyed some samples and bought some chocolate things to try later.
We spent the evening with Hubby's sister and her husband. Their children were elsewhere so we went out for dinner to a local tavern which was fairly new. The meal was good along with the company and so we had a wonderful last night in WA.
At approximately 10pm we headed to the airport for our plane trip home.

Pamper
D3 and I went for a pamper in that building (hotel) over there. Very nice place and very nice pamper.
2 plus hours later we came away very relaxed and ready for bed.
While we were caught up in the hotel, hubby wandered over the road and then found himself back at Gloria Jeans for coffee. He was happy!!!
Tonight we came to the circus, and yes, I tucked into a hotdog and fairy floss.
It was dark when it was all over. We really enjoyed ourselves. The circus was very entertaining and a real treat.

Out and About
Wednesday September 19th
Today our middle daughter (D2) is 28. She is back home in Tasmania and enjoying the quiet I am sure. We called her and let her know where to find her gifts that were hidden before we came away. We also pulled up skype and watched her open them. She is going out for dinner to her grandparents along with some other family/friends.
Our travels today took us to the Westfield shopping centre, Koorong Bookstore at Mt Lauley and Victoria Park.
This is the extent of my shopping today. Found some bargains that will be put to good use.
(the A-Z was only $5, so I could not put it back, light reading)

Zoo
Tuesday September 18th
Lots of pics coming today because when you go to the zoo, it cannot be helped, as you will see. Hubby, D3 and I travelled over to Como for hubby to see his naturopath. We enjoyed a nice coffee before the appointment in a quaint cafe. The zoo was just around the corner and so we met with the others there. It was a beautiful day again and perfect for wandering through the zoo.
We completed our day with our last family meal together for a while in the form of a barbecue.
Delicious gluten free burgers, sausages and fried onion.
Bathtime! In goes Little Lady and Little Munchkin wants to follow straight after, but hang on, nappy off first!!! She's quick!!

One Month Early
Monday September 17th
This morning we met the rest of the family at Ikea for breakfast. Yummy meal and easy on the pocket.
We spent about 2 hours there looking through and it was very interesting. Throughout the day we went shopping at Harbourtown and travelled about. There is always something to see and do.
D1 hits a milestone in one month from today and she chose Sizzler for us to have her birthday meal her.
Hightlight of the picture, the one-month-off-30yr old.
Around the table
And around again. A bunch of beautiful family enjoying a meal together. Great!!!
