We went to the city today

We took a train to the city today. We wanted to get a good vacuum machine and Aunty Carol said the stores in the city have more variety. Meredith was excited because it was her first time taking the train here.

This is them at the Auburn station. We were so glad today was nice and cool, just 16 degrees.


When we arrived in the city, we saw Krispy Kreme. When they first opened, they used to have queues and people had to wait for an hour to get their donuts. That's just like the current donut craze in Singapore. But Krispy Kreme was good. Well made and has that nice soft texture.

I think the best part for Meredith must be the rides in the malls. Now that its Christmas, the big stores each set up an area for kids. This one is at David Jones. She had the carousel all to herself. How is that!

Over at Myer, it got better.



They had a mini train that goes round. And the place was nicely set up to look like the real thing.


Even the enthusiastic train driver was looking good!


Of course Reegan would protest. He could only sit in his pram while Big Sister got all the fun.


Luckily, there was a even minier train for him. And he could drive it himself!
