This past weekend was spent down in Melbourne with the Wotherspoons. It was fantastic to see some familiar faces and also to meet one new one, little baby Georgia! She is adorable and a perfect baby. She is a carbon copy of Scott, down to the love of the wineglass :) I am sure she will be a budding wine connoisseur when she grows up, just like her dad! She is already reaching for her wineglass at this young age!
The Wotherspoons live in St. Kilda's, which is a gorgeous neighbourhood right by the beach. Not only is it minutes from the ocean, it has Acland street, famous for its cake stores and cute shops. There is also a few interesting rooftop decorations
Saturday we went to Queen Victoria Market which is this massive market with just about anything you can think of, from Uggs to seafood, cheese, chocolate, fruit to live chickens and ducks.
We also went to Brighton beach with gorgeous bathing boxes and 4 different wedding parties! Look closely on the side of the box. According to Scott, these are the most expensive real estate per square feet in Melbourne. Dinner was spent relaxing outside in their backyard with a lovely home cooked meal with another Canadian fellow Kris!
Sunday we went to Yarra Valley for some wine tasting and relaxing. Baby G was fantastic and survived the whole road trip without much fussing. Finally Sunday night Meg and I went down to the St. Kilda's pier to watch the fairy penguins come onto the rocks. The penguins were cute but the best feature was watching the sunset! Scott and Megan, for an awesome weekend, I give you a 10!
Thanks for a great weekend, Gladys. We'll look forward to more fun in Sydney in May.
