We Went Together

Malacca · 6–8 November 2018

Eighty Days Old

Our first journey together as a family of three.

Singapore to Malacca

Our First Road Trip with Sophie

At eighty days old, Sophie came with us on the drive from Singapore to Malacca. Dinner was chicken rice balls, a Malacca speciality, and it worked because she slept through it in the stroller.

Malacca at Her Pace

We walked through the old centre and stopped at The Daily Fix, but the day was shaped less by a list of sights than by finding somewhere to sit, feed Sophie and let her rest.

The final day

A Short First Trip

It was a small trip: two nights, one city and no need to rush. That was enough for our first journey together as a family of three—and the beginning of our adventures together as a family.
