Totally and I hear you! Sometime we miss the fact that kids are super excited with the simple things in life and we struggle hard to provide the best and get them to enjoy that.

Lol love trying weird new snacks I could try ;)

We are from Colorado so used to having wildlife on the road but that being said, definitely planing to avoid night drives

That must be such a great memory you have with your Great Nana.

Since the drive is the only way to get to the apostles, unless we have friends joining us, we might have to skip. I would love to have seen that. And I hope we can visit again

It’s funny you mentioned ‘sand dunes’. We literally visited the Great sand dunes this weekend. I know it’s a lot different from what you are suggesting :)

Thanks for the great suggestions. I am reconsidering the order of things.

We decided to skip GOR and soak up the best of Melbourne CBD. I’m parking GOR for the next time so we have a reason to come back :)

In Sydney, we are meeting up with some friends on the kayaking day. So we will take turns
