Today was a gorgeous, sunny, too many photos kind of day. The best kind of day to have! We walked the amazing 6.5 mile trail around the Swan River but also added on a walk onto Heirisson Island to look for kangaroos and a walk up to Kings Park to see some of the beautiful, large park and enjoy some great views of the city. We just kept saying how beautiful everything was. Feeling very blessed.
