Spring was fun as we woke up from a cold Canberra winter. In September we checked out the Gauguin exhibit, discovered new Filipino and Indonesian food around town, had a mother-daughter weekend at Sydney, a quick visit to Floriade and celebrated a birthday.

October was spring school holidays, so we went to Victoria [click here for post] to visit family and drive along the Great Ocean Road. In November we met a couple of celebrities and ended the month with Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends.
