- This video is brought to you by Squarespace.
- Hi, we're Stephen and Jessica
And this, is little baby Hunter for the last five years
we've been traveling the world full time
but 2020 has found us in our home state
of Western Australia,
and we can't leave with our state being completely
locked off from the rest of the world.
So we decided, hey, we probably should take some time
to explore our own back yard.
So this year is kinda big one for us
and a lot of our friends,
because this is the year that a lot of us are turning 30.
- And one of our oldest friends, Ashley
which you might know him a couple of times in the vlog.
He turns 30 this week and he's literally my oldest friend.
I've known him since 2002.
So it feels extra special to still be friends with him now
and we decided that since it's his 30th,
we should do something extra special.
(cabinet door opening)
(dramatic music)
So about three years ago, Ashley and Heidi had Hugo
and ever since then,
we all kinda haven't really hung out
just the four of us.
Back in the day, we used to just go over whenever
eat good food, plays as many board games as possible
but now we all kinda have responsibilities
and I think we need to do something about that.
(upbeat techno music)
Alrighty, we just arrived and
- What?
- You driving forward.
- Thank you Steve.
- Thanks a lot.
- Are you ready Hunter, you gonna be bossy?
Ooh, ready?
- Dad! I'm watching.
- Why does this mean we can come in?
Ooh yeah!
Ooh Hunter loves a good window.
And I can see this place, has quite the window.
Oh my gosh.
Does Hunter see the window?
- I think, she sees dad, Hi.
(both laughing)
- Look at this view.
If you guys listens to us on the podcast
you would know that since like our 18th,
it's become like a tradition
that if one of us, one of our friends
has a big birthday milestone, we stay at Burswood
and this is the new Crown Towers.
How long has it been open for?
- I don't know, only a couple of years
but I think that long.
- But we've never had a chance to actually stay here.
So when Ashley turned 30, we were like, you know what?
Let's use this as an excuse to come and stay here
and, oh my goodness. The room looks so nice.
They're currently staying next door
we're about to meet them down by the pool
but, this where we are staying big bed
let's check out the bathroom.
- That's cool. Just straight through there.
- Ooh, the bathtub is fun, and look who is this?
Is that you baby fried?
(Stephen laughing)
- Hunter has a baby friend that always follows her around,
she doesn't yet know that it is her own reflection.
So at the moment, this is her little best friend.
Baby who is that little friend?
(Jessica sighing)
- All right so,
- We need to go to. - You look like you are ready
for the beach by the way.
- Yeah.
(baby mumbling)
All right. She's saying its pool time
(baby mumbling)
- Sorry, I feel like we need to have this discussion.
Every time we come to a new place.
This is mom and dad's bed. Yeah, we got your bed sorted
it's coming soon.

- [Ashley] Yes.
- How does pajama party and room service sound?
- [Ashley] Sounds like us.
(both laughing)
- Alright, come around. We have some news to share.
(sachet rustling)
(ice crunching)
So tonight was actually gonna be an extra special night
because it was gonna be the first time
that me and Jess we're gonna leave Hunter
with someone for a couple of hours
so we could go out and enjoy just me and Jess
but Claire got a brand new job this week
which means unfortunately, can't make it tonight.
However, as Ashley said,
board games and room service sounds more like us,
but don't worry Claire.
We're so proud of you for getting your dream job.
- Do you order the sticky date yet?
- Yeah, - I will.
- Yeah ordering sticky date.
- Are gonna remember really?
- Why do we get one to share between four of us.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Are you having your key?,
- The kids ones.
- Your key?
- Beef Tenderloin. - Beef Tenderloin.
- Medium layer, with pepper - medium layer
- You remember this all?
- No.
- Let's just see what happens. Just call him and see.
- Heidi has never ordered room service,
so we're giving her the honors
- Also like is have an iPad that you can just order off,
but we're making a call.
- It's more fun.
- In room dining I'm gonna go - Do it.
- I so hope they say, "Ma'am use the iPad."
- Hi there.
I'm just wondering if I could order room service?
- I wonder if anyone's gonna mention
that Heidi and I currently matching, didn't even plan it.
I'm just saying, all right, we ready?
For us to pop this place?
- Something is gonna break.
(cork popping)
(laughing)

(base guitar music)
(water whooshing)
(upbeat music)
(bright music)
Good morning everybody. Welcome back to the next day
here on Ashley's birthday.
I have decided biggest recommendation
if you ever go traveling, wake up, six in the morning,
there's nobody else in the pool area
except this morning rare case
I had a little buddy that decided to go for a swim with me.
(dramatic music)
(water burbling)
got a little bit of a cute hotel guests joining me
for my morning swim.
(water fall whooshing)
(birds chirping)
Thanks again for the great swim buddy.
(door opening)
You guys missed out on such a fun.
What have you done?
- We have a filler robe lover.
(Jessica laughing)
If you guys have been following us for a while
you know how much I love hotel robes
and Claire was so sweet when Hunter was born
she bought her her own robe.
'Cause she knew when we stayed to hotels,
there wouldn't be a robe for Hunter
and it even has an embroidery saying honey,
which is that nickname never stuck.
- It never did.
- We always thought her nickname would be honey
but I've never said that.
(baby mumbling)
Are you a baby honey? Do you like that?
Oh, maybe she likes. Hi baby honey.
(lock sliding)
- Good thank you
(door closing)
- Christmas has come early.
I've been waiting five years for this package to arrive.
Jess it's arrived.
Are you just as excited as me for this to arrive?
(baby yelling)
You know what? one day I'll pass this down to you.
- Aah, so you working that up, putting on Christmas tree?
- Ah aah. This has being opened right now.
- You said this was your Christmas present.
So it doesn't look like it's December yet.
- Oh, does it? Let me just show them
the guests room. - Oh my gosh don't.
- We will come to this later speaking of Christmas.
- Embarrassing.
- Alrighty. You're all probably thinking
Steven enough of the suspense. What is in this box?
Just let me bask in this moment
just for a little bit longer.
Hunter and I are excited too, hey.
(box sliding)
(box rustling)
- I have a little bit of an unboxing audience.
- Oh my gosh you wanna hold the camera?
(plastic bag rustling)
- Alrighty.
(box rustling)
No, it's not the new microphone that I'm excited about.
It's what's in the next box that I'm excited about.
(box sliding)
(plastic bag rustling)
(box squeaking)
The day we bought the camera
that we are currently filming on
was the day that our vlogs completely changed
and it took Sony
(baby mumbling)
- And Hunter is exited!
- It took Sony five years to bring out a sequel.
So a month ago, the day they announced it
I had to put my money down and pre order this.
This is the Sony a7S III
As you can tell, I am so excited for this.
As we say goodbye to this camera.
It is time to make the change from now onwards.
Our vlogs are gonna be filmed in full K.
This is the face of a very happy Stephen.
(baby stroller rolling)
Why do I feel like we need to upgrade you
into the big go plan.
- Decided to come on a little family,
day-to-day down to Hillary's boat Harbor
for some fish and chips
and this place is right on the water.
It's full of restaurants
and little clothing shops and cafes
and as you can tell it's currently
school holidays here in Australia.
- So Jess kinda reeled me into this family
little lunch break by saying we'd get some fish
and chips, but the moment we arrived
here at Hillary's, shopping needed to be done
and Jess needed some help picking out a couple of hats,
but it was fine and they look very cute.
(Jess laughing)
- Oh my goodness.
(pager vibrating)
- And then we went and ordered our fish and chips.
But the issue is they didn't have any Bundaberg ginger beer.
You guys do Bundaberg ginger beer at all?
Oh yeah. - [Bar attendant] Cool.
- I'll give that a try, cheers,
not as per Steven, It was not cool.
Had to go for the second best thing.
(soft music)
(bottle top crackling)
- You haven't done a month about rating scale in a while?
- No, too weak.
(Stephen laughing)
She like she's looking out for friend.
(both laughing)
- I have a very, very important question for you.
What flavor?
- One of the perks of having a sleeping baby.
It's adult ice cream time.
Even when your wife doesn't bring back your favorite flavor.
- Next week my husband turns 30 years old.
- This is so much fun. Alright.
- Okay. I made Steven hide his eyes this entire time
did not want to miss the reveal.
Are you ready for what you're gonna be driving around
in the next week? - Okay.
Where we gonna be living in for the next week.
- What?
- Okay. Ready? One, two three. Happy birth day.
