Aussie Tuesdays

I want to post about our trip to Australia, since many have not seen pictures yet. So Tuesdays are now Aussie Tuesdays!

We decided to go as our last Hurrah before baby came. It was expensive but WELL worth it. We went July 17-27. I know so short for such a trip...but hey at LEAST we made it!
We flew SLC to LA and then LA to Sydney, when we got on the plane to LA we sat on the tar matt for over and hour and never moved! The SLC airport was experiencing micro burst storms and they were limiting the amount of planes taking off at a time. We were the last plane to take off before they shut down the runway! We barely made it for the connecting flight, when we got to LAX we only waited 1/2 hr. before getting on the next plane! Talk about cutting it short!
We arrived in Sydney at 6 am and our hotel room was not ready yet so we went exploring. The harbor was only a 30 min walk, so we went there first...What a thrill to come out of the city and BAM! There's the Opera House. What a rush to see a famous landmark in real life. I had a hard time accepting I was really there. (See above proof, I touched it!) We ended up walking around the city for most of the day and ate dinner at the Sydney Hard Rock Cafe. Where I of course purchased a Hard Rock Tee.

Comming up next week on Aussie Tuesdays...Surprising Maralyn and lots of beaches!
