About a month ago, my cousin TJ sent us a message that he was coming back to Sydney for work and wanted to drop into Melbourne for a visit. So despite only having a little over a day to visit, we did our best to show him that Melbourne is the best city in Australia.
After getting settled in, we took TJ to Hosier Lane, Flinders Street Station, Fed Square and grabbed some dinner at the Night Noodle Markets (fun fact: the night noodle markets only run for 2 weeks in November, but each time they have happened we have had a visitor from the States staying with us). He was impressed with the exotic tacos at Mr. Miyagi, and even the sun came out to welcome him that afternoon. We ended our night with a stroll to the Shrine of Remembrance, which was unfortunately closed, but allowed us to show TJ one of the best places to see the city skyline.

The next day the weather was much cooler, so we took TJ to our favourite neighbourhood brunch spot – the Mad Duck Café. After brunch we visited the Queen Victoria Market, Bourke Street Mall and some of Melbourne’s Iconic laneways. It was a short visit, but we were so glad he took the time to come down.
Arden also had a great time getting to know TJ. After her initial shyness wore off, she loved sitting and playing by his feet while we chatted at home, and liked to clutch his finger while we were out walking, like they were holding hands. It was great for Arden to meet more family and we had a wonderful time showing TJ around Melbourne. Hopefully he can visit again soon and bring the whole family next time!
