Part Two - Australia

Jerid and I have been married for a year and a half now but we really haven't had much time for traveling because Jerid has been finishing up school and I've been working at least two jobs to get us through. So, we decided to take a quick little jaunt to Australia to see Donny and his family before heading out to the Middle East for the summer. Even though we only had four days to work with and one major set back (a cancelled flight from Sydney to LA) it was well worth the extra jet lag! This was Jerids first international experience and what a place to go!

Business class on the way over! Booyaa! Great food and an extra great sleep on the completely lay flat seats!



Ferry ride from Circular Quay to Manley.















Don picked us up and took us the Bondi beach. One of the most beautiful and well set beached I've seen in Australia. It was a bit cold (it is winter in Australia) and very windy but gorgeous nonetheless.






We spent the night in Sydney at the Marriott downtown then headed out early for the long drive to the Gold Coast. It was a great drive with lots to see including our first wild kangaroos. Unfortunately the girls were asleep when we got home but in the morning we got to meet our sweet little niece Emmeline, the newest member of the Ward family. She is really beautiful and looks just like her Mom, Elise.




Next, we headed out the Wildlife reserve with the kids. Nope, that's not our baby...



Taylor got to pet the baby Kuala Bear.





Annie just wanted to give all the Roo's a cuddle. I think the Kangaroo's were so sick of eating that they were in a slight comatose state.












Ridiculously large crocodile!






End of Day 3 in Australia.
