First Day in Melbourne

We got in Melbourne on May 3, lost a day in traveling, checked into the hotel, and needed food. Of course the only place the boys wanted to eat was an American burger joint, Soda Rock on Chapel Street. We ate, went back to the hotel and slept for 19 hours. The jet-lag was bad!!!!

Our first day exploring Melbourne... Breakfast

 Found a great cafe and enjoyed our coffee in a glass cup, which I found to be a little different than our American coffee cups but it was so incredible.  Also had our first taste of their muffins and chocolate and we were in heaven.



What did we start???  Hot Chocolate... Fruit.... Muffins... what more could he ask for?







Four trams and an hour of walking later we found St. Kilda Beach. We also found out it should have been 15 minutes on one tram. Even with getting lost on our way, our adventure to St. Kilda was exciting and the boys loved every turn. It was a beautiful moment as Chris and I began to see the smallest things become magical to the boys. Everything was exciting from the tram ride to the size of a large leaf, or all the different tree we spotted.  

Waiting for the tram... Really cool tree...


First Tram Ride....So fun.  





















Ryleigh and Layden loved the beach. They spent most of their time finding seashells but Layden did take every opportunity to run after the birds.
