A Melbourne kinda day

Today we went to explore Brighton Beach, a special request from Dylan who was really keen to see the bathing boxes. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as keen for us to be there, it was blowing a gale and almost sleeting. We donned our coats, and being the intrepid explorers that we are, managed to walk the box strip (actually Brian, Evie and Max bailed halfway but the big boys and I made it despite being almost washed away a couple of times).

The kids each chose their favourite:

Dylan's favourite

Lukas' favourite

Evie's favourite

Max's favourite

 After Brighton, we headed up the beach road to St Kilda whuch we planned to explore for the afternoon. We found a big open carpark (essential for parking Suzy Q) and made a sandwich to eat before we left. We were listening to the cricket while eating when it all got a bit exciting, so decided to drop everything and head into the MCG for the afternoon session. Why? Because we could!

It was a great afternoon in the hallowed ground, which I'd never been to before and I have to say was most impressive.

Unfortunately the Aussies couldn't show us a win, despite Max and Evie yelling Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi (or in Max's case Aussie Aussie Aussie...Aussie Aussie Aussie) but what a way to spend a spur-of-the-minute afternoon.

Oh yeah, and we'll forever remember our visit to St Kilda: a sandwich in a motorhome in a carpark!!
