A few of the best - Tyler's a good photographer! I had the camera for the first two spots and Tyler took it on his last dive! Well that's all folks - just a sample with more to share when we get home. We've taken today off to rest and recup. Our next stop tomorrow is Brisbane and the Wild Dolphin Resort and then to the Australia zoo. We thought about heading out for the beach and having Tyler do more surfing but it turns out there are no refunds for cancelling events! So we are staying with the original plan! Love to you all - I think Tyler is ready to be home...misses everyone!... read more

From Jervis Bay, it was time for a little road trip with the parents. Brett is still of working, so we decided to go check out Canberra which is the capital of Australia. And I know how my dad loves war museums and parliament buildings from our many family holidays back in the day, so I knew what I was in store for. However, he surprised us a little and my mom and I were able to keep him moving and we actually enjoyed it almost as much as he did. Well not quite. But it was good.
