ROAD TRIP!
it was the holidays for all of us.. so we decided to take a road trip down to mt dandenong to bring sophia and tim to that area for a food and sight-seeing adventureeee!
the day started off with me and baby getting the car and realising that they shortchanged our fuel. we went back to europcars and demanded that they check and they allowed us to return it 1/8 full.
the ladies of the trip! =)
our little magical guide courtesy of our good friend tim. gave us inspiration on the places of interest and food for our trip.
First Stop: Breakfast at St Kilda's.
tim had to get his GPS map from this place at St Kilda's. So we went to this bakery for breakfast. fresh bread and pasteries were their specialties.
hot from the oven! wad a good way to start off the trip.
apparently, people who stay upstairs just come down to buy breakfast from them. and all they need is just a phone call. haha.
the crossiant that we shared. it was so flakey. just the way i like it.
the cousin had some pastry with raisins in it. looks good too!
Next Stop: Appleseed GPS shop (or whatever it's called)
was just playing around with tim's memory card and made the comparison with my thumb. haha.
there was this cool furniture shop. and it inspired photograph at its best.
how can a road trip not have a photo of filling up the tank with fuel. =)
after the small stop at st kilda's, we went off to caulfield to hand in tim's assignment. then we made our way to the Tulips Farm behind Mt Dandenong at Tesselaar for the Tulips Festival.
Third Stop: Tesselaar Tulips Farm
this is just one small portion of the farm.
"we are a team!" hahaha.
a bigger view of the farm but still not the whole farm.
p.s. the portion that is barricaded is meant for plucking. but u gotta pay. =S
happy happy us! we sure enjoy our road trips. =)
the men of the trip. the protectors of the impreza and the passengers.

and there were many different colours of tulips! bet u din know. this is the purple one.
