California

We are in California for the week for Christmas! After a wild flight - 2 airplane emergencies and a delay due to an airport staff mix up we finally arrived in SFO early Tuesday morning. We have been catching up with the cousins around the breakfast table and planning our Napa and Heavenly adventures later on in the week. We are going to head to the Academy of Science Museum today. I hope we catch a planetarium show!

Great Barrier Reef

Today we spent the whole day on the Reef and it was soo amazing! We snorkled in two places and saw tons of fish. Angel and Butterfly were the two most common types! We did not see any sharks or sea snakes so I was happy. On the way out to the reef it took 90 minutes and and bunch of us sat on the bow of the boat and got toally soaked. I think the skipper was trying to throw us over! We got a really cool picture of us underwater also! I even got to wear this awesome wet suit! haha not really but it was fun and kept me warm. It was a bit cloudy but still very very fun!

Tuesday - monte faito As we were having breakfast today, we went from finalizing our day to Pompeii to switching last minute and taking a funivia up to monte faito! The heat at Pompeii midday would have been too much for the kids. So, my parents joined us for another adventure! We took the train to castellammare di stabia and then a cable car up to monte faito, hiked around & had lunch.  Waiting for train Wild ponys!

I've been here for a week?!

G'day Mates! The touristy stuff we did on Sunday worked out well. The Mcgoffin house was actually closed for Christmas Tea, but we persuaded them to give us a tour anyways! The house is made completely of adobe. If you are not familiar, it is a clay like substance and when it rains the house leaks. Four generations of Mcgoffins lived there before turning it over to the state. There are only two steps in the house because of the adobe there is no foundation but the walls are 3ft thick. The aerial tramway was also pretty sweet. We ventured to the highest point in Texas. It was about a mile above sea level at the top of the Franklin Mountains. At the top, we walked around and saw two nations and 2 states. It was a clear day out so we could see well in to New Mexico and the snow resorts. I then visited some family friends and they took me to the best taco place in the area. It was sooo good! Yesterday, we went out to dinner and all entered in a free giveaway. Two people in our group w...
