Sydney Australia

I kept reading that every couple should take a "baby moon" before the new baby arrives, so Ezra and I decided to head across the map to Australia!!!

We took a 2 hour flight from SLC to LAX, and then a 14 hour flight from LAX to SYD! We left SLC at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday night, and arrived in Sydney at 11:30 a.m. Friday morning! Yep, we totally skipped our Thursday that week... but don't worry, coming home we gained a day!

Sydney has some great buildings, and it was nice to just walk around and explore!
We just headed out of our hotel and started walking, and we were able to see quite a bit that first day! Good thing too, because we didn't stay in Sydney long!







The Opera House! Just look at this architecture... unreal!


We spent some time relaxing under the roof while it rained a little! My excuse was the rain... but really I was just worn out! Walking around caring extra weight (baby) is no fun on your lower back, or your feet! (I know enough complaining Ashley!)





As you can see, the weather wasn't quite what we wanted, so we decided to take off the next day and head north to the heat! I think it's a good thing we did, because we got to see Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef!!! (you'll see below)

Miah just went there last month but didn't bring back any pictures, so i'm glad I got to see what he saw through your pictures....he too is a big fan of the great barrier!

At least Ezra took his wife, maybe he should have a talk with Miah:).
