The Grounds of Alexandria

Image
I may have just travelled on a couple of planes to New York, but it's time to travel back to January 2022. This was when I travelled in a car with Mum to The Grounds of Alexandria. The theme for the laneways on this trip was Beauty and the Beast . The Grounds always do an immaculate job with their installations. I always appreciate their attention to detail. On this particular visit I was celebrating my birthday. After eating some delicious food, we ordered their specialty cake. Our waiter even put sparklers in the cake for my birthday. I also returned to The Grounds of Alexandria for a visit in August 2022. This time I wanted to see the Alice in Wonderland decorations. Mum and I found our way around. It was quite a colourful adventure. The food was delicious and this dessert was exquisite. After dinner we headed back into the Laneway to view it at night. This is probably the most accurate photo of our adventure. I wish I could recommend visiting these installations at The Grounds...

Final Family Adventures... For Now

We've reached the end of the Bravos' visit to Australia in May last year. We ate some lunch at the Peachtree Hotel, which is quite fancy now compared to the partying days of my youth. They even have a cool playground, which Addy loved. She is in the next photo, if you look closely. It's a bit like Where's Wally , which is what she requested when she came over in the afternoon. We also watched some of A Bug's Life . Then we all took a stroll through the reserve near where I live. Addy insisted on taking the Littlest Pet Shop dog and carrier. After a little while she asked me to carry it. Then I asked my mum to carry it. Even though this was the end of my time with them in Australia, in just a few months Mum and I will be spending time with them at their place in America. But don't tell Addy because it's a surprise.
