One Fab Weekend

Friday was a Mom and Tot outing with the AWA. They met at the Scienceworks Museum at 10:00 and I think they planned to stay until 12:00. We tried to go. Really we did. We got to the museum at 12:05. How is that for timing?

Overall we just had a very slow morning start. I had a 10:40 game the night before so I was rather tired and I wanted to get a little exercise first thing. Lilly had a meltdown somewhere in there and we just couldn't seem to leave the house. Very frustrating. We took a different route than normal and it seemed to also take a lot longer.


While we were at the museum Lilly spent most of her time in the pretend cafe. She served me lots of tea with lemon as well as chicken, spaghetti and lots of fruit. Her other favorite part is the bridge. Not so much with building, just walking across. She wanted to play with a wheelbarrow but there were just too many kids.

Saturday was a busy day. We met our friends on the other side of Coburg and hopped on a tram. Well, first we had a piece of cake. Don't ask why, we were offered we said, yes, we ate cake. We went down to Vic Market which has everything! They have meat, fruits and veggies and then it looks like a flea market after that. Not so much with the odd antique stuff but knock off everything. We bought some UNO Princess cards and the cards are different but the directions are for a regular UNO game. Not that it is difficult to figure out but we have 4 cards that we don't really know what to do with. We'll have to make up a rule for them.

We had a quick lunch and then headed off to the Melbourne Museum to see the new dinosaur exhibit. It was impressive but smaller than I was expecting. There is going to be more opening later in the year and even a third phase next year. Maybe that will meet more of my expectations. Our friends had to get a coffee fix but Seth and I held out for our final stop.

Final stop was Lygon Street. This is a good place for eating Italian. Most important, there is a dessert place that rocks! I would get the same thing every time I go in there so I had Seth pick something. It was ok. I like more chocolate!

After that, we headed to a book store for a quick look and the tram back to our house. I ended up driving our friends back to their house since it was late and I didn't want them to have to wait for the bus.

Then there was Sunday. Seth left the house to get a light for his bike and a neon vest for riding in the dark. That was pretty much it!
