Vivid!

It's that time of year again. Sydney's Vivid Light Festival was on. I'm not going to say much in this post. It'll be mostly pictures.

First we started at Martin Place.

Random lit up dome thingy
Lights on Building

The tree started small and grew

Blurry photo of me

I wanted to put my head in the thing, but the line was too long :(
Then we made our way towards Circular Quay. Decided we needed some food. Found a fabulous place called Bridge Street Garage. The type of place that makes you believe in good food again. We had sliders to start. Two different types of burgers. They were SO good. I struggle to eat burgers (or any type of beef here really) because compared to the beef I was raised on it just doesn't taste any good to me. But these burgers COMPLETELY changed that view. Definitely the best I've had in Sydney. I don't want to say the best I've ever had, but they were definitely near the top. Even the wedges at this place were to die for. I definitely will be remembering it for the future. THEN we headed to all the sites at Circular Quay.

You can't tell here, but there were kangaroos hopping across the building


This was interactive. I can't explain how though :( This is all so much better in person.

An odd part of the animation but it still amazes me.







Tube you walked through.
I thought Luna Park looked nice all lit up (I think it's always lit up though)

It was quite a trek to get to this side of the bridge



It was a car. That told you to do things. And I would laugh and blow you kisses

It made me quite happy

They changed color when you walked on them


Not the greatest photo, but we were cold and tired so that's my excuse.
That's the end. Until next year!!

Letters To My Inspiration

Dad - You have such an incredible respect for everyone and everything in this world. Growing up helping you out with so many different things, both indoors and out, showed me how to go about life treating everything in this world with respect, and that nothing can be taken without giving even more in return. Mom - You always pushed me to do and experience everything I can. Even when I didn't want to try something new, you reminded me there's always something to be gained. You never stopped encouraging me to follow my dreams wherever they may take me, and to never regret where I have been, because EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Josh - You and Mitch have both been in my life for so long I barely remember life before you. I am so lucky to call you my brothers. You, Josh, are the kindest person I know, someone who would truly go out of their way to help any friend or stranger without question. There are not enough people in this world like you. If I could help out even a f...

Welcome to Australia

... Where there's 4957748285943079 different animals that want to kill you. The other night while minding my own business I was so blessed as to see a MASSIVE spider run across the sidewalk. I've been informed it was this... It's called a Huntsman and I've read they can get as large as a dinner plate. You're welcome for this picture by the way. If I had to see one in real life, you can deal with this. Don't worry. This is a good spider that we like to keep around because it is not aggressive to humans and it eats other pesky insects like the thousands of cockroaches that live here. If you somehow do happen to be bitten, the venom will not require you to go to the hospital, just might cause some pain and swelling. They apparently are commonly found in houses. No the real spiders you want to watch out for are the Sydney Funnel Web and the Redback spider (which I will spare you the pictures of). These are highly aggressive and a bite can kill you (if ...

I've decided to hammer down and just do this. So here it is, New Zealand. View from the plane We stayed in Queenstown which is on the South Island. It was probably the most beautiful place I've ever been. Breathtaking views everywhere you went. I don't mean to brag, but this was the view from our Villa we stayed in. We could hear a small waterfall out back too but there was too much foliage to be able to see it. We settled in Sunday(?) afternoon and headed into the town to do some exploring/shopping. Lake Wakatipu. Temperature Ranges from 46-50 year round. People were swimming in it... Supper time rolled around and I honestly can't remember which meal we had that night but I think we ate at this nice place near the lake where I had a delicious pasta with Salmon in it. Dad was also enjoying the local "cuisine." The entire time he was in Australia and New Zealand he made sure to try all new beers each time he had one. This one was pretty aw...
