Our Trip Down Under: June 23 - July 5, 2008

Sydney, Australia

After 14 hours on a plane, Molly was a trooper and very excited to arrive in Sydney!

Eventually though, we all needed a nap....but Molly was the only one smart enough to take advantage of the opportunity.

While most of the group was enjoying a quick video about the Sydney Opera House's architect, Molly was in awe of our 7-foot center!

Allison was one of the crazy ones to actually do the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb! To learn more, visit www.bridgeclimb.com.

Brisbane, Australia
Molly's first time seeing the ocean was at the Gold Coast, in the state of
Queensland (near Brisbane).

So many firsts! Oceans, roos, and koalas, oh my!










A little downtime in the hotel room finds Molly...aka Rock Star

Cairns, Australia
A visit to the Great Barrier Reef, an hour boat ride off the coast of Cairns, was truly the highlight of the trip! Can you see what's lurking below?!


Allison and Mike had an amazing day (taking turns) snorkling, and Molly had her first experience getting in the ocean!


Cairns, from afar...





On a day off, Molly had a ball at a children's water park :)






Molly - at 15 months old - with 8 U.S. states under her belt - now has stamps in her passport detailing her international travels! I reckon this is now time to say "G'day Mate!"
