Week Two - Diary Saturday 12th Dec 2009

We told ourselves to "Get Lost" today...so we did, literally.

Danny was keen to get away for the day and go for a drive, we got out early and head for Warburton, I'd never been there before, what a beautiful place, I DEFINITELY want to go back there for an explore and a play. We only stopped briefly for a potty break and a chat with the ducks and to climb a few trees.

From there we head to a place on Lake Eildon where Danny had taken Josh camping and hunting sometime before. The problem with this was that when he went last time he wasn't driving, he was in the passengers seat drinking beer (Josh wasn't driving by the way, they went with friends) and obviously not paying a great deal of attention to the details of the trip. So unfortunately we missed a turn off very early in the piece and ended up goodness knows where (well we know where now, but at the time we didn't have a clue) driving up some goat track that twisted and wound through the ranges, often very skinny and very unfriendly drop offs. Charlie knew we were going the wrong way, he's wasn't enjoying him self AT ALL. In all fairness, it was beautiful and we probably will go back and do the track on purpose one day as it's very remote and pretty and lots of camping spots. Danny was have a "making less appealing decisions" kinda day, and so we also took the Super Scenic route home as well (that was once we know where we were again of course). Jemison is very pretty this time of year.

We stopped for a play at Mount Matlock and the boys really enjoyed it there, they hadn't played Star Wars aaaaaall day so they were right into it. It was so beautiful there, we hung for a while and had a cuppa and restored our energy for the journey home.

We stopped for some truck stop hamburgers on the way home and another break, Charlie was getting jack of the trip by this point, but we pulled in home (to find we *Danny* had left the garage door open for the whole day, amazingly nothing was taken) around 9:30pm, to boys were soooo filthy I had to shower even though it was late.

Now they are all tucked up in bed and I am about to do the same.

What an adventurous day we had.
