Below are a few snaps from our 5 week road trip. We saw some amazing sights and it was fantastic to catch up with the Grant Roffs in Melbourne - it also meant we didn't have to put up the tent for a whole week!

Although the 5 weeks went fast and we had a great time, I must admit it was nice to come home and especially to sleep in our own beds. For those who had met our 17 year old cat Roy, you will be sad to hear that he passed away whilst we were on our trip. He was such a beautiful pet, and so patient with the carrying around and dressing up endured over 4 children. We are looking forward to seeing lots of you at Glenn's party and anyone who needs a bed for any extra nights is most welcome at our house.
Still in travel mode, the exciting news is that my sister Kathy and I are off to Canada to see her son Tim who is working on a gap year at Rimrock Resort in Banff. We leave in the last week of this term and we are going for 3 weeks - much to Damian's great delight who gets to stay at home with the kids! We will hire a car and do some sightseeing, and we will stay at Tim's resort for 1 week - google Rimrock Resort and check it out, it looks way too good for us! I hope I hear no more of swine flu and Canada in the same sentence.

Melbourne Roffs Rule!
CPK has rocketed into my top 3 restaurants.
Did you guys take a professional photographer with you? Sounds like a great trip.
When did the Canada thing come up, Jenny? Can't remember you mentioning it but that might just be the red wine. It was terrific to see you all and it's been VERY quiet here since you left. How good is Soverign Hill - can't believe it didn't make it into Damian's top three, although dinner with the girls is always special and so is the (Hot)Pot King. Dom got punched in the head this weekend but found it educational as it's never happened to him before. Next week he says he's going to duck..
Not Roy! Noooooo! Why is it that the good die young? Vale Roy - you deserve the long rest.

Is Lilly wearing shoes in that shot with the snowman?
No she is not wearing shoes! Call DOCS now!
