Albert Park

The other day we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and walk to nearby Albert Park. The park is huge (560 acres), which is especially impressive considering it is only about 1.5 miles from downtown Melbourne. The park also has a large lake in the middle. In fact, there are several sailing clubs located at the park and the lake is used for sailing competitions. The day was really nice and there were a bunch of sail boats out on the water.

The roads in and around Albert Park are also where the Australian Formula One Grand Prix is held every March. The Australians follow Formula One pretty closely, and I guess this is a pretty exciting event.

Here are a few pictures from our picnic:

Our Dinner

Our Thanksgiving dinner turned out really well, with all the favorites: turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole, and salad. It was a little different since it was just the two of us, but we had a great, relaxing day and the food was really good!

Our favorite though, was dessert...apple pie! I swear it's the best recipe I've ever tasted!

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day!
