Day 6: Chocolate, Wine, and Beer

This morning we went to a mall with a Target store.  We were so excited.  We purchased some socks and other essentials while we were there.  Afterwards, we met Charlie & Fouad and their families for lunch. 

Then we shuffled the kids (9 of them) and stuffed them into 3 cars and drove to the Swan Valley. 

Our first stop was the Margaret River Chocolate Factory where we had “Chocolate Tastings”, plus ice cream for the kids and coffee for the adults.  There was an observation window where we could see the liquid chocolate being stirred mechanically, as well as witness the preparation of some of the chocolates.

Next we visited a winery (not Yellow Tail), and had a wine tasting – not the kids, they ran around next to the vineyard.

From the winery, we went to a Brewery and shared a few flights of beer.  The kids continued to occupy themselves.

And from there, visited another winery. 

We were hoping to visit a cheese factory as well, but we informed that it was no longer open for business.

Afterwards, we headed Fouad’s house for dinner and more wine (and a movie in the home theatre, for the kids). 

It was another fantastic day!
