Comfortable pace defined our Melbourne trip, grandparents and kids both content without ever rushing.
Itinerary overall was well balanced for a family our size. Twelve Apostles viewpoint however was so crowded we barely managed a clean photo with the kids. Parking near the site also took forever on a weekend. Still glad we came, just wish it were less of a scrum.
Grandparents haven't stopped talking about the penguin parade since we landed back home.
Standing before the Twelve Apostles with parents and kids in tow was special. Three generations of our family went quiet at the same time, which almost never happens.
Watching the little penguins waddle ashore at St Kilda had our kids squealing with joy. We waited nearly an hour on the boardwalk but nobody complained once it started. Volunteers there were patient explaining the whole process to curious children. Easily the most memorable evening of the trip.
Our teenagers hunted street art through the laneways harder than we did, phones out the entire afternoon.
