Our Long Weekend Trip
We had a great weekend as usual...
We went to Canberra ACT Australia to visit the Floriade, we left our place Friday late afternoon and came back Monday afternoon. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment in Kingston .
Although the weather was changing from overcast to a clear day ; it did not damapen our moods to go around the city.. saturday was overcast and what a better way to spend it by going SHOPPING... yes we visited the Brand Depot,, and we got back with heaps of loot.. then visited the War Memorial ; which is the best placeto visit to learn more about the wars that Australian in which they had fought. We also saw the relics, artefacts and documents of the WW1 and WW2 which were highly preserved..
ROLL of HONOUR 
At the heart of the Memorial is a long series of panels recording the names of Australia's over 102,000 war dead. This is known as the Roll of Honour. An online database compiled from data used to create the Roll of Honour is available on this web site. Search it for details of family members or friends who died serving their country.
Sunday is the best because it was a beaustiful Sunny day so we went out for another shopping trip at DFO direct factory outlet then off we went to visit the Floriade which is an annual flower display..
I just cant help but take heaps of photos of the breath taking display of different varieties of Tulips and other bulbs..
Floriade is Australia’s annual celebration of spring – a flower festival with more than a million flowers that bloom on cue for four weeks in September and October each year..
To complement the spectacular flower display, Floriade presents an exciting entertainment program with visiting and local performers, children’s activities, workshops, exhibitions, showcase gardens, food, wine and shopping.

After staying there for almost 2 hours we went to visit the Train Museum to keep my son happy. it was a hectic day and stayed in the apartment the whole night...
Then Monday morning had a quick visit to the Parliament House to take some photos and then off we went to the Dinosaur Museum...
