Holidays

Levi and I are both on holidays now. It may be as much as a week before I can get back to the computer, but we will both be having loads of fun!! We fly to Sydney on Monday and are staying at a place in Haymarket. I don't really know that area at all but I figure that we are pretty safe as there is really nowhere in Sydney unsafe in daylight and Levi dinner is at 5.30 and in bed by 7 so we will be back in the hotel before dark.

I plan to go to Cockatoo Island to see the exploding cars and for the free ferry. We will do the Powerhouse and the Maritime museum. I will work on seeing how many modes of public transport we can use in 4 days. I am amazed at how differently I am organizing this trip compared to the last time. The last time we had Ross and Evan only (Well Levi was there but only 2 months old) and they are both animal type people, so our trip was more Taronga Zoo, Wildlife Park oriented. This time it's all about machines. I hope we will meet up with my aunt down there and will give her a call tomorrow. It is hard because at 70 some her body clock is so different to that of a 5 year old, it will be amazing if we can get them at the same place at the same time. We will also visit the photography shop and subsequently the US Consulate. Then we can complete the real reason that we are in Sydney.

Today was fun. We went to the park and the kids scootered around and around and around. It was great to see these guys again and it had been a while. I love that Levi can wear out some of his boy energy with another kid. It makes life so much easier for me. Tonight he was bundled into bed because we ARE NOT missing another swimming lesson because he decides to sleep in the one morning we have no other option.
