Travel Thursday: Street Art, Melbourne

So... I had all these plans for our weekend in Melbourne.

They included strolling the laneways and exploring.

Finding patches of street art.

Trekking through to find cafes and grafitti and boutiques.

But now I have a baby. And so, I learned that traveling is a little different.

I did manage some quick i-Phone shots down Hosier Lane with Mama, while babe was having a sleep though #hurryitsnaptime

Here are a few quick shots - they will have to do haha.

Travel Thursday: Burn's Beach, Australia

In my last few weeks of being pregnant I was getting very restless - but very tired. One morning we decided to mission up to Burn's Beach to explore a little. Sometimes just having a little break when you are house bound like that can make all the difference. Isn't this a beautiful spot? It was so peaceful and calm. Sophie was kicking away in my belly while we took a short wander through the sand. It was well warm at that point, so it was lovely to cool my toes down in the water.

And that water. Isn't the color just stunning?

Getting ready to be back in Perth

Yep, 14 weeks from now we will be in Perth, Australia. Marking the end of our first time living in the USA. While I am super bummed to be going, there are a few things I am super excited about...

Our Perth Family! I miss and love them so much... I can't wait to see them all again.

Kings Park - so much prettiness, the view is stunning, ducklings, running trails, picnics and the flowers - oh the flowers!

Miss Brown Vintage - where I first fell in love with vintage dresses.. pricier than Houston, but sorted in rainbows of color.

Nandos - best hangover chicken ever.

Dolphins in the river - the Swan river in general. So beautiful. We can see it from the office, perfect for paddle boarding. Love it.

Blue sky - for months and months non stop. It really is a beautiful place to live.

Early morning coffee runs with Liz.

Christmas parties - and socializing with colleagues.

Social life - I guess this may change now, since we have a wee one coming. Which I am totally okay with - I am just so excited to meet her.

The Ocean - The Indian Ocean to be exact. And those pretty beaches that edge them. So blue.

Rugby - All Blacks, Super 15, World Cup, rugby watching parties, it is all good. And we have missed that heaps.

Less potholes - dude these roads in Houston are rugged.

Meeting some babies that appeared after we left. Jack and Jack - can't wait to meet you little dudes.

Touch rugby- while I wont be able to play when we get back in November, Rob will and we both love it so much.

Throwback Thursday - Perth Coastline Jems

This week I have been thinking all about the beautiful coastline in Perth. In a driving safety class today a lady was asking me all about Perth. All I could think of was the beach.

Here are some photos I showed her...
