What have we been doing this week?

It's hard to believe that six weeks of Australia will be over in two short days. We spent the last week doing odds and ends in the city and in the 'burbs. One night we met up with Emily and Kate because they came to Melbourne for a mini trip. Last night (Friday) we went to the trendy area of St. Kilda for a nice dinner. We hung out in the city and went to DFO (direct factory outlet) for some good shopping. Just kidding. It was more of looking at the window displays and wishing we could do some serious shopping. Another night, we finally caught the Bond movie and also had the chance to watch Baylee sing downtown for her school Christmas carols. We also went for a bike ride along the beach yesterday for a few hours in the afternoon....

We started packing this afternoon and will finish that tomorrow. The flight Monday leaves from Melbourne around 11 a.m., and we're scheduled to get to Pittsburgh (after 26-hours of traveling) at 9:45 p.m. that same day. Some time tomorrow we will post some more final  thoughts and maybe even some sentimental ones, too, about leaving this beautiful country but still looking forward being back in the states. See ya soon!
