Slowing Down

Posted on by Caroline

We’ve covered a lot of territory since I posted last time. But I want to stop for a minute and enjoy this moment. Right here. We are in a beach town a couple hours north of Sydney. It seems to be popular vacation spot for families. Tim found a rental RV and a camp site right by the water. So we woke up this morning with a sunrise walk on the beach. Tim left for his class and after a quiet morning, the kids and I are slowly wandering into town, with lots of stops for playgrounds and throwing boomerangs. After the hustle and bustle of the past week, I’m enjoying the quieter day.

It’s a quick post (I’ve got some relaxing to do with the kids) but as a quick recap, since I posted last we…

  • Got in late to Sydney and missed our original performance of Possum Magic
  • Got to see it anyway because we found affordable tickets to see the second performance of the day
  • Wandered around the Royal Botanical Garden in Sydney
  • Found a delicious dinner in the Rocks (an historic neighborhood in Sydney)
  • Picked up the RV
  • Provisioned the RV at a Coles (and picked up the obligatory jar of Vegemite)

  1. doing an RV trip is truly inspired! You all are doing a great job of taking advantage of the flexibility that home schooling allows!

  2. I totally forgot that the boomerang is Australian! Very cool! I remember Paul and Tim (or one of them) having one and I think I tried it. So cool that these guys are doing it in situ – haha! I’m really pleased that I just figured out that I can save photos of you guys from your blog to my photos! I like to keep great photos of family and friends.

  3. Will you adopt me? ♥️
    I remember a camping trip when I was a kid that involve your dad in the Smoky Mountains. It rained almost every day so I am sure it was a nightmare for my mom but it is a trip I remember so fondly. Your dad slept in a camping hammock and there was a bear….and we had Beanie Weenies lots of times. We had a pop up camper and a pup tent too since the pop up only held 4.

    Anyway, your kids will remember these days fondly when they are in their 70s.
