Australia: Sunday in Manly

  Sunday was Chris’ final scuba day so he left early again and Laura, Kyle and I headed to breakfast in Double Bay (after feeding the little man).  The servers were all really into P. Standard.   We ate at the Cosmopolitan Cafe and I got scrambled eggs with gluten free toast and avocado.  Money.  It was exactly what I wanted.  I meant to try the Vegemite on my toast but forgot.  I never did get around to sampling it.  In fact, I never saw it again after that breakfast so I totally forgot.  Womp… Read more >

Australia: weekend in Watson’s Bay

After Chris and Laura got up we all hung out in the living room. P was obsessed with the fan.  Mostly because we wouldn’t let him self-amputate his fingers (and that bothered him). Chris had scuba certification lessons planned for the whole day so after he left the rest of us got showered and dressed and went back to Cafe Indigo for a breakfast date.  Kyle’s friend Julie (from elementary school!) lives in Sydney as well so we coordinated a meet up with her and her husband. It was silly going back to Cafe Indigo… Read more >

Australia: a balloon welcome!

Best airport greeting! [photo collage borrowed from my sister’s IG] Auntie Laura knows her nephew well because she brought a balloon to the airport for him and it was basically the best thing ever. He didn’t care about anything else once it was in his hands.  Vacation on. It’s hard to know where the first day technically starts since it was a 24 hour travel extravaganza followed by a full day upon arrival.  We left on Wednesday and arrived Friday morning and it was about what you’d expect as far as flying with a one… Read more >

Australia: flying to Sydney

To get to the other side of the world, we left Davis around 1 pm.  The Sac airport is a BREEZE and I want to fly out of it exclusively now.  P stayed in the ergo through security and they didn’t give me any grief about the baby food or anything at all.    We played near the gate, watching the other planes take off, and eventually it was time to board.  We gave the crew a heads up about P’s allergies and they were totally awesome about it.  We boarded first, wiped down our… Read more >

My highlights: weeks 9 & 10

Whoa, I don’t know where to begin.   What. A. Vacation. I highly highly recommend Australia to any and every one looking for vacation ideas.  Sydney is probably not a place I would have considered if my sister didn’t live there, but it’s such a friendly, fun, beautiful city.  Good thing we just bought a house because I can definitely see why my sister lives there and would consider making a move myself had we not locked life down in Davis (I can practically hear my parents sighing as they read this). The food, the… Read more >
