G'Day, Mate!

After our Vermont trip, Alex was off to Australia for almost 2 weeks for business. He spent a week in Sydney, and then a few days in Melbourne.

Here were some of the highlights from his trip (in picture form):
Alex's approach to the Sydney Harbor bridge. He actually climbed the outside of the bridge!!!


The Sydney Harbor bridge - you walk along the left arch of the bridge (yes, harnessed in and with a guide).


Alex's view from the top - pretty incredible, huh?


Alex posing on the Sydney Harbor bridge with the Opera House in the background.


Alex and his new koala friend at the zoo!


Yep, there were kangaroos at the zoo!


And a fast-moving Tasmanian devil too!
The view of the Sydney skyline (with the Opera House and a part of the Bridge) from the zoo.

Finally, Alex got to take in his first AFL game in style. Go Geelong!!!
Our next stop (together)...San Francisco!!

Halfway there!

Last weekend we were in Vermont for cousin Dan's wedding to Erica. It was absolutely beautiful, as was the bride. While there, Lorraine hit 20 weeks, the halfway point in her pregnancy. Here are two pictures from that weekend (thanks again to Lara for the dress for the wedding!):
