We are back in Brisbane now (very hot today...36 degrees) but beautiful, sunny weather. On our last full day in Sydney we took G for a swim on Bondi beach and then had lunch by the Opera House. Of course one must have a photo in front of it and also in front of the bridge (see Flickr). At the airport in the Qantas lounge, Grayson had a ball watching the planes come and go. He had a really good view from where we were. On the flight back he was the perfect boy and fell asleep before we took off and woke up after we landed. You got to love that. Unfortunately I don't think he will sleep the entire way to Europe.......well at least not without a little medical help :)

Sydney 2008
Well here we are in Sydney again, this time with the muffin man though. Mel and I are down for a conference so Grayson has to amuse himself......well actually the grandparents are down to help out...phew!
The apartment is alright and the view, as you can see from the photo, is not too shabby. Grayson quite likes watching the monorail go by and checking out all the boats on the harbour.
Tonight we went out to a french restaurant (getting Grayson acclimatised early) and he rather seemed to enjoy my snails. So we shouldn't have any trouble on our europe trip then :)
Tomorrow there is more conference for the grownups but on Wednesday, weather permitting, we hope to take G out to Bondi or maybe out to Manly.
Hmmmmm....where did I pack his bucket and spade???

Qantas club lounge fruit toast
Well after a nice long sleep (it must have been the pink pyjamas...) mummy and daddy bundled me up this morning and took me to this place. I may have been a little too helpful with the packing - I tried to take a few clothes out (mummy ALWAYS overcompensates in the garment department) but the parental units didn't seem too happy.
We seem to have settled in here for another hour or so - it pays to be prepared, and then we fly off to Sydney. Gramps and Nan are coming along too, although we won't meet them until this evening.
Hmmm. I do believe they have brought out the cheese and ham options. Excuse me, there is some consuming to be done.

BIMS 2008
This weekend we headed out to the Brisbane International Motor Show with Matt, Leah, and their adorable girls Emma and Sarah. Grayson really enjoyed sitting in the drivers seats of the cars but in this instance he shared the second row of seats (it has 3 rows in all) with the girls in this Discovery 3. Afterwards at lunch Emma just kept asking if they could go back to the show and buy the 7 seater. I don't think I have ever seen a female (all be it a 4 year old) get so excited about a 4WD.
Alas, once again we didn't get past the rope on the Ferrari stand :(
There was a rather nice grey one that seemed to boast a ridiculously fast top speed and insane acceleration. Oh well, will have to keep saving.......
