Day One- The Wiggles

A few weeks before we left for our trip, I found out that the Wiggles (who are from Australia) would be in Sydney the day we arrived. I knew it would be a gamble if we would feel up for it, so I didn't buy tickets. But the day we arrived we knew we needed to stay awake so we decided to go. We took a train ride and a "short walk."

(We were told a 5 minute walk, it took us 45!) Anyway, the theme of the show was "A Wiggly Circus" and I must say, Ben and I liked it as much as the kids! It was very well put together. Here is a picture:



Oh, and we also saw this building. Not too important. :)

It is more beautiful in person than I imagined.

I love Australia!

Just wanted to give a quick update on our trip (and a few pictures, since that's all most of you really care about anyway!).

Can I just start by saying my kids are amazing travellers? They did SOOOO well on the 3 plane rides we had and received lots of compliments from other travellers. On the 15 hour stretch, Landon slept 9 straight hours and Allie slept 10! Then she took a couple of naps after that! Unfortunately Ben and I did not fare that well, but really only had jet lag the first day we arrived. I did read, though, that the week of pregnancy I am in could possibly be the most tiring! Yay for timing! But thank God I did not have any problems on the plane. I envisioned myself puking for 15 hours straight. :)


Here are some pictures from travelling:

My good friend Yessica that we got to visit on our 10 hour layover in LA. I miss her so much! She moved there in September and I haven't seen her since.




Some of my dad's family that also lives near LA. They all met us at Santa Monica Beach, which is quite lovely.




A very depressing sight when travelling!



But it went by relatively quickly.
