Last week I had my parents staying with me. It was cool having them about for the week. The more I hang out with them the more I realise why I am the way I am. Crazy!
So on Friday we decided to spend the last 2 days of their stay travelling up to Tumbarumba to see my sister and her husband. We underestimated the length of the trip… it ended up taking 6 hours each way. My dad hired a funky looking purple car (not the car above) which really drew a lot of attention out in the country. It was fun seeing the tiny NSW country town of Tumbarumba. My sister often finds snakes and stray cattle in her yard and everyone knows EVERYONE. And being at the foot of the snowy mountains it was cold! I thought Melbourne was cold… but Tumba is almost freezing. We stayed overnight, had a quick tour around the town, and then started our long trip back to Melbourne. I like car trips… but I have learnt that the trip between Melbourne and the NSW border is pretty boring. I had once planned to drive it myself. So it was nice having my parents along for the trip.

This was a nice story Phillip, I totally enjoyed it.
From time to time we look at our parents and think,
that’s going to be me in a few years. Or something to that effect.
