Only in Australia are "kangaroo boots" a good idea!

Resourceful Megan...


...watching a movie on one screen, and playing games on another!

What a loooooong flight!

We're not in Kansas anymore

L&P


"World Famous in New Zealand"

We either need to fly Air New Zealand more often or move to NZ. I forgot how much I looooove L&P!!!

24 hours


I kind of forgot what it's like living in a world where everything is 24 hours! Oh well... I'm over it! :)

God Bless America!

What a bargain!

Wal Mart tour guide


This was our awesome Wal Mart check out lady who shut down her register and took us all over the store when we told her we were taking pics for our Aussie friends. Here she's holding up some crazy frankenstein doll thingy. She was great.

Halloween, part II


I will be a pink unicorn this year. HAHA!

Halloween


For our Aussie friends who don't understand just how big a deal Halloween is in the States... here's the candy aisle at Wal Mart!

Wal Mart


No trip to the States is complete without stopping at Wal Mart!!!

Election Time


Everywhere in CA is covered in election signs. I really appreciate the fact that the Yes on 8 (the attempt to eliminate gay marriage) says "Restore Marriage" and has a picture of a mom, dad, and 2 kids. The "all American family"... hahaha!!!

Fall leaves


It was quite strange to be preparing for summer, then find ourselves launched into the northern hemisphere where the leaves are changing and fall is on the way!

Tommy's, cont.


The kind of place that brings suits and tradies together!

Happy lady.

WTF?


Yes, I agree... it looks like vomit. BUT... the chili is SOOOO good (and I don't like chili, that's strange).

Tommy's Burgers


An LA staple. Apparently. I had never been there before despite growing up in Souther CA (us OC kids didn't make it to LA very often), but I'm now a believer.

Another big tree.


It's hard to get a real appreciation for just how massive these things are. It didn't help that the batteries in our camera died before the fork in the road where we discovered we could go to the tree that you can drive your car through.

THAT'S a big tree!

Sequoia National Park


Pretty as a postcard

Where's Hey Walsh?

Hello to our avid readers (you know who you are... all 2 or 3 of you!)!

My apologies for the absolute neglect that's been going on here at Hey Walsh. To make a long story short, here's where we've been:

-Medical leave for Jen (with Megan taking excellent care of me)

-LA for about 10 days after we received word that there was a family emergency in Megan's family

-In LA and Sac with Megan's family

-In Sequoia National Park for some brief R&R

-During our week in CA we realized we were there during the small window of opportunity before the crazy voters of CA decide on Prop 8 and potentially eliminate gay marriage, so we got LEGALLY married!

-Back to Australia and jet lagged, exhausted, recovering, etc.

I'll post some pics soon!
