We started with a walk through the city and down Pitt Street where we found a maternity store (Max was overjoyed as you can imagine). After nearly an hour of trying on clothes, we left empty handed and decided maternity clothes are overrated :) So if you see me walking around with my belly hanging out or in my husband’s t-shits over the next 8 weeks, don't be alarmed- we have just boycotted overpriced fat clothes with stretchy waistbands.

Our next stop was Circular Quay, where all of the quintessential Sydney attractions can be found.

Such as a man playing the didgeridoo....

The Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Can you believe my Australian husband had never seen the Opera House before?!?

[Cue photo sequence of us and the bridge...]


Each year on our annual anniversary trip we take a picture of ourselves with a sign stating what year anniversary we are celebrating. Of course we weren't organised enough to make the sign beforehand so I sat in front of the Opera House in the sunshine and drew a kindergarten style drawing...

with this behind me....

and this in front of me. Not a bad view I say!




After that we walked around the Opera House and both got repremanded by strangers within a ten minute time period.

Max was told off by the security guard this doing this.... :)

And I had a strange woman ask me, "Should you really be doing THAT in your state??" I mean, I was only pretending to jump.

We took that as our cue to leave the Opera House and hopped on a ferry over to Manly Beach.


[the best view of the Opera House is from the water]

As soon as we got on the ferry, the weather changed and the freezing wind and rough seas rolled in.

[.... just realised I spelled harbour wrong in the picture below...]

Once we arrived in Manly is was cold and grey.

1915....

2012...


But of course, it is never too cold for ice cream!


After a few hours of walking around the beach, we headed back to Circular Quay to meet up with Scott and Andrew for dinner.
It was a great day full of typically tourists things!
