The Happy Traveler | A day in the city of Melbourne

I promise that one day I will get caught up on my Australia/New Zealand blog posts! The images below were taken on a day of adventure out in the city of Melbourne with my dear friend, Rachel Devine and her beautiful family. I absolutely adore this city. So many interesting things to see and do and very easy to get around. I wish I lived somewhere like that. We took the train from their little suburb into the CBD and then walked to a cafe where I had the yummiest hot chocolate (and most creatively decorated I might add). The kids all had a treat very popular amongst Aussie kids known as a “babyccino”(a cup of steamed milk, foam and sprinkle of cinnamon). I swear I do not know why we have not picked up on this in the states.  Although – now that I just typed that – I googled babyccino and found that it is becoming all the rage with NYC kids and families so I guess it is only a matter of time before it shows up all over.

After we finished our little treats we stepped outside and into the coolest alley way where Rachel I and both just had to take some photos! We even managed to get a super fun family shot that was later used for their holiday card!

We really did have a great day with lots of fond memories to look back on. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing your city with me 🙂

Stay tuned for another blog post full of images of our special day in the city with just Rachel’s oldest daughter, Gemma. xo
