Grandpa Nastase's 80th Birthday

Last weekend Jared Kelsea and I flew to melbourne for my Grandfather's 80th. he was born in Romania and because the communists took over the country during the war he left (illegally) and crossed the continent til he got to germany. i actually think he was arrested in czechloslovakia. But anyway he ended up in a former POW camp in Germany that was transfomed into a refugee camp. There he met my grandma and married her. they looked like old time movie stars!! THAT explains my good genes!! LOL joke!
So after comign to Aus they eventually settled in Melbourne, where my mum and her older bros Peter and George grew up. So everyone flew to melbourne - well Danni and her lot drove - as did Catherine Levon and Abel. It was sooooooooooo hot for us poor tasweigens!! we are used to the cool tassie spring and it was over 30 degrees the whole time. Kelsea loved the plane - especially looking out the window when we were all tilted - she didn't like sitting still however!!
It was great to catch up with everyone and meet Abel who is abotu 8 months old - and already bigger than Kelsea! Grandpa loved the little ones and Kelsea really loved him too. We had a party at the Matthew flinders hotel - do not recommend staying there!! very noisy niteclub!
Ok i hear Kelsea beating up Grandma!! better go save Grandma!!
