Road trip to Mount Gambier

We are just home from a five day road trip to Mount Gambier, visiting four week old Mr D and his parents. We spent most of our time getting to know Mr D and catching up with my brother and sister-in-law, and aunt, uncle and grandmother who were also visiting. There was very little time crafting, although I did get some inspiration from my sister-in-law's house (more on that later).

Aside from family bonding, the most wonderful things were the beautiful wattle displays and the black-shouldered kites and other falcons that were happily hunting.

The road trip home was just Miss 1 and me, as Darren flew home early for work. We went to Branxholme, only 1.5 hours, on Tuesday night and stayed with friends and then made the trek to Melbourne together on Wednesday. Miss 1 was very well behaved, sleeping the first two hours to lunch, then spotting sheep, playing with toys, snacking, reading, singing, sticking stickers, drawing pictures and generally trashing the car.
