These last two weeks have been filled with many firsts. I took my first plane ride all the way to Australia. I did really well on the long plane ride and didn't cry at all. In Australia, I went to Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Melbourne, Geelong, and all the way down south to the Great Ocean Drive along the Tazman Sea. I took my first dip into the ocean in the Tazman Sea, went hiking, saw my first bats (known as Flying Foxes) and kangaroos, and even went to my first opera at the Sydney Operahouse. (I made it through Act I of Carmen, but the applause scared me and I started crying right after, so my parents had to rush me out.) On the way back, we stopped in Sacramento to visit my Nana and Nani's house for the first time. They threw a huge party in my honor. Below are some pictures from our trip, and click here to see the rest...My first airplane ride...and I got the window seat!
