Grandma and Grandpa arrive!
Three weeks of fun with Grandma and Grandpa (the American versions) began when they landed after nearly 30 hours of travelling on the 13th. Due to some maniac who abseiled down the Harbour Bridge to disrupt traffic on a Friday morning, I was a little tardy collecting them from the airport. Not a great start, but suffice it to say that the rest of the trip was pretty wonderful and ran right on schedule. In less than 3 weeks, they experienced the Northern Beaches, Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, Hunter Valley wine tasting, the Blue Mountains, and Canberra. That's 2 states and 1 territory for those who are counting. We had generally good weather, too, with the exception of the last two days of storms (including a waterspout!).
Let this blog post serve as the general overview with more specific ones to come.
