just plodding along

st kilda

today we decided to head to st kilda. we headed off to chapel street by foot (with oscar enjoying being held by mum then dad then mum then dad etc) to catch the 79 tram. after a 78 already passed by, the driver of the next 78 told us that the 79 doesn't run til 6pm. whoops. and he said he'd tell us where to get off and change to get to st kilda. what a nice tram driver man.

so we got off at carlisle street and caught another tram to st kilda.

we got there and headed for the beach and then realised we were walking passed luna park. so we decided to pop in and have a look

unfortunately oscar was a little small to go on any ride. "you must be this tall to enter"... almost!

ding ding!

was quite different to the sydney luna park. much smaller. seems much more kiddie friendly. the rides are all quite small and pretty old school. but it looks like good fun for the family, if the family doesn't include anyone shorter than 120cm.

from luna park, we walked down towards the beach.

and oscar had his first feel of sand. thankfully he didn't even try to eat it! doesn't take after mummy just yet

we then wandered around to find somewhere to eat that would satisfy us, and provide a safe and comfortable place for oscar to feed as well. we ended up in grill'd. it was a bit pricey, but yummy. howie had a beef burger, and i ordered pumpkin cous cous with lamb skewers. yummo.

after lunch we went back to the tram and made our way back towards south yarra. we had to change trams and had fun walking to the next tram stop

oscar did very well for being up for such a long time! and we had a fun little trip to the sea side.

the rest of the arvo we hung at home - watched a bit of the swans game on tv (which was being played only a couple of kms from us at the 'G). have slowly started packing. and had our gourmet dinner of pasta, veggies, tuna and cheese.

hoping for a very good night of sleep. because we're driving through to yass tomorrow. google maps tells us it's 611km and will take 6 hours and 58 minutes.
