| Glorious Melbourne sunshine! |
One of my last posts had me reflecting on a
past life that I often miss. You know that single life where you can do
anything, go anywhere, whenever you like?
Well last week I took a trip with my son to
Melbourne, my old stomping ground. I caught up with my lovely sister and her
two little boys, and was able to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in years.
It was brilliant.
One of the highlights of my trip left me
smiling ear to ear for days afterwards.
As a day out, I took my son Max into town
on the train. We strolled through Bourke Street, had a hot chocolate and a baby
chino at Koko Black (with accompanying chocolate teddy on a stick), spent forty
glorious minutes wandering the Myer toy department, caught up with a lovely old
friend who had yet to meet Max, and then whilst my little angel slept in the
pram I wandered the banks of the Yarra in the glorious Melbourne sunshine.
It was such a beautiful day.
With my
favourite little person.
In my life before kids I would have been
stuck at work that day. Perhaps I might have dressed up that evening only to
wander from bar to bar with my friends, trying to find “Mr. Right”, wishing I
were at home in my track pants with a glass of wine and a good movie.
How my life has changed. And I am so much
happier for it!
Its always great to take a break from the everyday house thing and catch up with family and friends. Especially if you don't see each other often Sounds like you and your little man had a lovely time in Melbourne.
