My happiest day in Sydney

Friday was the happiest day I've had in Sydney yet. It was because this person showed up!

I've been looking forward to this day for months, and it still hardly feels real. But it feels happy!

Sydney turned on the best possible winter weather for us, so we headed out to explore the city a bit.

First stop was at a bakery in Kirribilli to charge up our batteries before lunch. We found some cool meringue flavors: passion fruit and blueberry. Holly was pretty excited to pay for them with a $2 coin!

 

Then it was off to catch everyone's favorite mode of transportation to Darling Harbour. It was a perfect day to be on the water.

The goal in Darling Harbour was lunch. But, of course, these things have to come behind koala-watching at the wildlife center!

Lots of happiness here....

The goal for the day was for Holly to stay awake until 8 PM - which meant we needed to keep moving but not expend so much energy that we got exhausted. So after lunch by the harbour, we strolled through Cockle Bay Wharf, Tumbalong Park, and Pyrmont.

We stopped in to say goodye to the koalas before catching the ferry for home!

Once we were back, I made some dinner and we had some bubbles with T to celebrate him being reunited with his kindred spirit.

Holly specifically took this picture "for my blog"

 

Long lost brother and sister

Holly made it to 7 PM, which was really good considering her day!

I'm so excited she's here, not just because I missed her like crazy but also because I'm excited about all the things we're planning to do together. The activities list I made on the fridge is just begging for us to put a dent in it!

I'm afraid the time is going to fly by, but we'll make the most of every day!
