Canberra Calls

Late last night while at the in-laws, my hubby decided we would join them on a day trip to Canberra, to visit one of his brothers and his family.

Canberra is 3 hours from us so as you could imagine, it is quite a long road trip for one day & it was very unlike us to decide to do it last minute, but we figured it would be fun so we agreed.

We had to hit the road pretty early, so keeping in mind that we would be attending church when we got there, I tried to pick a really easy and comfy outfit.... Thank you Leopard Print Maxi dress! It covers all the bases from easy to throw on, comfy for the car, not to hot or cold and to top it off, my favourite - quite slimming :-)

I also gave my hair a quick curl (or if you ask Hubby, NOT so quick lol) packed a few snacks and away we were...

It was a long trip, I kept myself amused by taking photos, flicking through Instagram & Pinterest and trying to get organised for the week. My usual "task list" of things to do.. but my goal this week is to actually DO IT!

It was a nice visit with the family in Canberra, I was also able to run into a couple of old friends which was really nice (it's such a small world). We then we headed back to the house for some lunch and to let the kiddies play before the big drive home. 

Oh and I fell in love with this cute Pottery Barn Kids Arm Chair. I had talked about this before with my good friends Bec & Rin, but I wasn't 100% sure if I should spend the money .. but seeing it in person I now HAVE to get one for Carter (not pink of course)

 As the day when on Carter actually started to get quite unwell, and he was not himself at all, he was very unhappy and he wouldn't eat or drink much and wouldn't take any Panadole or anything to help to settle him. 

So we headed off sooner than planned, luckily we had the portable DVD player in the car which kept him occupied on the long trip home.

I hope my little man will be ok.
