Our Aussie Adventure....
Sun Christmas Family Fun Times

I was really hoping to blog our trip while in Aus but getting to the internet proved to be tricky. If we were not near a computer we were busy catching up with family and friends, what a busy time!

The trip was off to a great start, bags packed and on our way to the airport, on time and all! On checking in we were upgraded to premium economy....wooo hooo! This is a new class between economy and business. Finally a flight were Dave and his legs would fit....ha! The flight was better than expected, the boys slept and the movies were all ones I had not yet seen.

We arrived in Sydney to a humid hot day. The sun was shining and there was a firmilar warmth that I had not felt in years. It was good to be home!

From the moment we touched down to the time we took off, every moment was spent with family and friends.
First stop Grandmas, we always head straight there from the airport to say hi. Then it was on to my parents were we stayed for the first week in Wangi Wangi located on beautiful Lake Maquaire. Here we got to take a break and relax with my family. During this time we also celebrated our 9th Wedding aniversary.
Next we were off to the Hunter Valley and stayed in the Kelman vineyards. Where Dave's mom has a beautiful B&B and a rustic log cabin. Again a wonderful time of catching up with family.

Then we were off to Tasmainia were we stayed with Dave's dad and stepmom in their beautifully restored bank in the middle of Hobart, this is where we were for Christmas and the best way to describe it was magical!

After a short stay in Tassi we were back on the plane for Sydney. We next stayed with Pete and Caz Dave's brother and sister in-law. But before we knew it we were packing our bags ready to head home to Seattle. Seriously, blink and it was all over.

Millions of memories made in a time that flew by way to quickly.
This was a Christmas holiday never to forget!


I know this is a very brief summary of what we were up too, I will be blogging some of the stories from our trip over the next few days, check back soon!
