Sydney Road trip #1

 We woke up bright and early on Saturday morning and once again took the train in to Sydney.  Big C was just as taken with it as he was on Friday!  We were scheduled for a boat cruise leaving from Circular Quay.  The cruise ship in the background seems to be a regular occurrence and the kids think that they are fabulous to look at.

Our little boat was significantly smaller by comparison!!

Our boat cruise was very well organized.  We set off to get a full tour and their was a kid's contest sheet to fill out as we went along.
Both of our children were quite interested in filling out the questions such as: Name this bridge, with a photo beside it.  Name all of the islands that we've passed, and a word search.  You can tell when events like these are put on by teachers!!
 We found a Starbucks on our way to the boat cruise.  It was my first time seeing such a thing in 5 weeks.  We all got a fun treat.  We dutifully took the requisite photos with iconic buildings in the background.

 The boat cruise went from 9-1 and included a stop for lunch.  It was a really fun event and we are all thrilled that we went.

Monkey tied for first place in the contest and Big C was a runner up (he didn't want to complete the word search).
Once back on dry land we went to see the Opera House close up and even went inside (you can wander in to the foyer free of charge).
