Mr Loopy Lou recently had a Birthday! The boys and I bought him tickets to the upcoming Tutankhamum Exhibition at the Melbourne Museum. I thought it would be a lovely outing for Hubby, Mr 5 and I.
Hubby and I had the privilege of visiting Egypt for 3 weeks back in 2004. To say it was the holiday of a lifetime is an understatement! Words cannot describe how amazing it was! We did so many amazing things - going inside the Pyramids of Giza, floating along the majestic Nile on a Felucca, venturing into the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, watching the sunrise at Abu Simbel, riding camels and camping in the Sinai desert, climbing Mt. Sinai at 2am to watch the sunrise and swimming in the Red Sea.
I still remember coming face-to-face with King Tut's Death Mask at the Egyptian Museum. All gold and sparkly and completely surreal. We are really looking forward to seeing this exhibition and sharing our passion for Egypt with our 5 year old son. He is already showing interest in Egypt and I am so proud!!!
Here are just a few of my favourite photos!
