Even before we knew we were officially moving to Australia, my mother began to make plans to visit us. She travels around the world a lot, mostly for work, and figured it would be fun to stop by Melbourne during one of her trips to Asia in July. We're so glad she did!

what's a family reunion without matching sweaters?

Over her four-day visit, we ate lots of good food, went on a few touristy tours around the city (including a beautiful boat cruise along the Yarra river), spent a lovely afternoon at high tea, and just enjoyed our time together. My mom also brought us a suitcase of gifts and items that are hard to find/super expensive in Australia (makeup, clothes, energy gels...), which was very nice of her. :)

We had such a great time showing my mom around Melbourne, and I was sad to see her leave. Ben went back to work in Shepparton the same morning as her flight out - so after a long weekend with an apartment full of family, I was back to being all by myself for two weeks, and that was kind of a bummer. But hopefully our next family reunion isn't too far away.
Thanks for visiting, mom!
