Where's my Teddy?

This is fast becoming my favourite book, I might just go as far as to say THIS IS my FAVOURITE book, but just maybe. Yes it's a children's book, but it's fun for all ages. It's lighthearted, short, there's pictures and it's really quite funny. It's a story about a boy who loses his teddy bear in the woods and finds a gigantic surprise instead. That description did it no justice, seriously, read it. It'll be well worth the 2 minutes.

The Goose

The Husband, the lil guy and I had lunch at The Goose when we were down in Busselton. The restaurant has a great relaxed atmosphere, its bright and inviting with stunning views of Geographe Bay. It's located right next to Busselton Jetty, which is the longest (1.8Km) timber piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.

Lunch begins at 11:30am. The Husband ordered the free range pork belly, apple cream, watercress, confit fennel, cabbage, seared scallop ($39.50). Visually appetizing although on the small side and unfortunately the skin was not crispy pork crackle. It was good but rather ordinary and nothing to write home about and quite expensive.

I ordered the Goose's seafood chowder, West Australian fish, prawns, scallops, black mussels, cured salmon croute ($38.50). It was deliciously creamy with succulent seafood although very small amounts of fish. I loved the dill and baby spinach through the chowder and the cured salmon croute was a highlight. I'm a big fan of chowder so I would definitely eat this again if my wallet would permit, it is on the expensive side.

Busselton

Last weekend we made use of the four day long weekend and headed down to Busselton with some friends and their kids. Our first family holiday!! It was great getting away although there was traffic heading down and coming back and the lil guy, just like his Daddy hates traffic. 

Holidaying with the lil guy is very different. The amount of things we needed to bring along looked like we were moving house. Going out was scheduled around Kobe's routine. We mainly chilled out at the house and took long naps. There were lots of precious moments spent together as a family and good times hanging out with good friends. 

We did manage to see Busselton Jetty, have lunch out at The Goose and go to the beach. There were lots of 'first moments' for Kobe: first time being on holiday, being in the car longer then 30mins, out at a restaurant with just Mummy and Daddy, tasting baby cereal and the beach. 

It was a great first taste of what holidaying with the lil guy is like. 

Sydney, Melbourne, KL - look out!!
