Australia. A continent and a country all in one. Amelia's fourth continent to visit at the age of four. If you had asked me whether we would ever have visited Australia, I would probably have answered that as a negative. It was never anywhere I thought that we would go. And then Brit got engaged to Therese. Therese wanted to get married in her church in Sydney. They both wanted us to be involved in the wedding - David as a groomsman, Amelia as a bridesmaid, and me as a candle sponsor. So...we booked our tickets to Australia and waited for the date. During the waiting, we had a lot of big changes in our lives. Amelia started her last year as a preschooler, I got a new position as a school counselor and RuRu went to live with Jesus after fighting an all too short battle with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Times were different after losing RuRu, but we had this amazing trip to look forward to. At the end of January, we packed our bags (carry-on only of course) and jetted across the world for 24 hours of traveling to our destination of Sydney, Australia.
We arrived in Sydney at 7:30 am their time and immediately adventured out to explore.
We were in awe of our surroundings and were grateful for the season of summer with 80 degree temperatures to enjoy. Therese and Brit did an excellent job of planning adventures for us. After spending a day exploring, having lunch at a yacht club on Darling Harbor, and checking into our apartment, we were exhausted! We went to bed and were ready for the next day and our next adventure.
