Sydney, Australia Day 8 (June 2023)

 This was our last day to explore in Sydney, Australia. 

After breakfast we headed out to do a little shopping. Sydney was amazing 

when it comes to shopping. Amazing stores and the malls were beautiful.






We shopped till it was time for our last adventure.
I saved whaling watching till our last day and it 
was a great way to end our trip to Sydney.

I promise that all our kids came on this adventure,

but we did not sit together. Mr. PC and the older two were

on the top deck and Sweet boy hung out with me on

the bottom back of the boat (aka the Stern, as told to me by Mr. PC).

Mr. PC would come down to check on us periodically,

I think to make sure I wasn't getting sea sick.


I really didn't think I would get so excited to see whales, but I did.

It was awesome!

Sweet Boy had a blast hanging out with me

seeing the whales. Plus he made friends 

with all the ladies taking pictures down on the back of the boat.

We also got to see dolphins!































































Sydney was a trip of a lifetime and would love to not 
just go back to Sydney, but also explore the rest of Australia.

Sydney, Australia Day 7 (June 2023)

 After breakfast we took a short walk to catch the Ferry 

to the Taronga Zoo. There are no shortages of zoos

and wildlife parks in Sydney, but we only had one day

to explore and this one came highly recommended.

It did not disappoint! It quickly become our favorite 
zoo outside and possibly inside the US.

The zoo had amazing views, a ton of animals and 
almost all of them were active.


















































After exploring the zoo we decided to do the rope course on our way out.
We got lucky and the guy running the rope course let Sweet Boy do the 'Mega Beast' course with us
instead of doing to kids course.

We started on the practice course that was only 5 meters off the ground. Mr. Man and Sweet Boy had a blast! Once we had all made it back to the ground The Diva decided to tap out and become the photographer. 
The next course was between 10-20 meters. 
















Along the way one of the workers had to come and join us. While Sweet Boy was loving it, he ran into a problem of being physically to small. He was not able to reach some of the rope. I completely understand because in a few places I was on the struggle bus of being able to reach things. #storyofmylife

Both boys fell in love with rope courses and cannot wait
till we find the next one.














With that the zoo had closed and we took the Ferry back across the bay.
Once again Australia did not disappoint with the views.



We had a great day and our time in Sydney was almost over, but
we had one more full day in Sydney left and it was going to be amazing.
