Following our fab day at Nelson Bay, the next morning we were up bright and early (well actually, i'm not so sure about the bright, but we were up early LOL!) and headed off to Sydney (for the 2nd Sunday in a row).
Every year my sister (Karen) and i ponder over what to give each other's kids for Christmas ... which usually results in just exchanging money in cards .... this year we decided instead of presents/cash we would organise a day out together.
So off we went on our little day trip ..... we caught the train, then the ferry to Darling Harbour.
The weather was quite warm but certainly not complaining about a gorgeous sunny day on Sydney Harbour!
We visited the Maratime Museum and seen their current special exhibition of Mythical Creatures ...
and then walked through the rest of the musuem which has lots of interesting things
We had lunch and a bit of a wonder around (always so much to see with just the general 'goings on') and a bit photo play at the pier under the bridge (gotta take the opportunity whilst the kids are being co-operative)...
We spent the afternoon at Wildlife World. I love the butterfly enclosure there .... twice butterflies landed on the kids but i wasn't quick enough with the camer :O(
But the taking this photo in the spider section was a bit of fun !
What a great day ..... i love visiting Sydney!!
Needless to say after a big day/weekend and long train ride home we fell into bed and slept like logs!!
Hope everyone is enjoying their school hols ... can't believe we only have a little over 1 week left [eeeek]! All the school shopping (uniforms, shoes, stationery etc etc etc is all done ..... now just to squeeze the last bit of holiday mode out of the next few days before the routine starts again for another year!
Keep smiling :O)

Sounds like a fabulous day, Julie - and what a good idea for a present!!
Can't wait to see some of these photos scrapped!
I think a day out is a great present idea for the kids.
No we didn't have the volcano dessert at Rainforest Cafe. We were going to, that was our plan, so we only ordered entrees (which they call apertisers) and they were so huge we couldn't fit in dessert lol.
