Egg Hunt and Back to Melbourne.
Today, as it was Easter Sunday, we all had to get up for the backyard egg hunt. As a family tradition the Easter Bunny hid eggs all over Mama and Grandad's backyard, and when they awoke this morning, all the kids wanted to do was search. Fortunately, the older kids waited for Aidan and Ethan to get up before everyone went full bore. There seemed to be eggs everywhere, in trees, under gnomes, even in the outback dunny. Our breakfast basically consisted of the chocolate group of dietary products.
As the morning progressed into lunch, with a beautiful day in Deniliquin, Mama organised a Bacon and Egg BBQ for our last lunch meal. This was quick, and easy, and filling enough given that we'd all eaten chocolate for most of the morning. There's nothing like an egg on toast before a long drive to ensure the car has that certain aroma for most of the trip! Uncle Phil, Aunty Jen and their kids left just after lunch, and we followed not long after at around 2:00pm.
Being the nerd that I am, I had to determine if the route I chose using the new freeways through Melbourne would be quicker than the more traditional route usually chosen to get to Jen and Phil's. So I timed it down to the last minute, trying to factor in the additional time spent stopping for toilet breaks, playground time, and petrol. All up it took us 4 hours, 18 mins. Phil, just to irritate me, said they did it in 4 hours, 17 minutes. Unfortunately, he knows my nerd roots, or is that routes?
Tonight we had Melbourne Fish and Chips for Dinner. There is something about Victorian Fish and Chips which just seems so much better than those in Brisbane. For a start, the fish you get is flake, or shark. That's pretty much the choice you have when you just get it straight up. In general, just the way they cook it tastes better, but that's usually because its Greek's who do the cooking. I was brought up with Greek fish and chips, and they always just taste better. We went from Jen and Phil's back to Nat and Brett's place for the evening, leaving Ethan behind. I hope he's not too much trouble.
