Road Trip - 20.12.09

Some people said we were crazy to drive to Brisbane. Well it was cheaper to drive than it was to fly.

Flying would have set us back $1200, and that's just for the flight. Then we had to think about driving down to Melbourne + petrol + accommodation + parking + a hire car.
And carting around all that luggage, and car seats, yeah no way.

Sure that amount of K's (1800) is a lot for a car, but it's not really fair for my parents to come down to see us every year.

We had good moments and bad moments.

We left on Sunday 20.12.09. It was about 10am by the time we hit the road. Our 1st pit stop of the day was Swan Hill.
We drove to the park near the lake.

Had lunch and let the kids have a play around the park.

Miles kept crawling to the pond


and Kayla

she kept telling us that Miles was running away.

From Swan Hill we drove to Hay (NSW) and had a pit stop there for about 30 mins, and then we hit the road again. I was trying to get to West Wyalong. But we were all exhausted that we ended up stopping in a place called Gooligowi. It's a blink a and miss it town.
The hotel we stayed at was really lovely. And because it was Christmas time, she didn't charge us for kayla or miles! Bonus!
The room was spacious, cosy, and clean (which is what you want).
We went to the pub for dinner and for pub food it was good! And we only had to walk 30m to get back to the hotel, so we could have staggered home if we really wanted to, but we didn't.
