Sydney Road Trip #1

Friday we took the train in to town from our billet in Hornsby.  That is still in Sydney, but about a 40 minute train ride in to the Central Business District.  Big C was pretty convinced that if he could just ride the train all day long he would be as happy as a clam!
 We dropped Dave off to his teacher education session thingy and the boys and I took off on a tour with the spouses and families.  The tour took us to some off the major highlights and the boys and I were very impressed to find ourselves under the Harbour Bridge.  If you look at the top left of the  photo you can see the fools people who are climbing up the outside of the bridge.  Luckily unfortunately for me, the kids are too young to be permitted to climb it.
 We were fortunate enough to be in Sydney for Chinese New Year so we visited some of the local events and installations.
 This is a shot of the whole tour group in the installation
 This is a beautiful view of the city with the Harbour Bridge on the right of Big C.
 Here we all are.  For those of us who know him well, the shortest WB was finished with this whole experience at this point and we broke from the group shortly afterwards.
We met back up with Dave at his thing-a-ma-jig and took the train home.  Possibly, but just maybe, I promised the boys that if they sat quietly on the couches at Lululemon while I shopped, I would allow them to play on their games.  THAT was a rousing success!!
