Family Trip - Day 4 (Final Day)

Well Sunday was my day of rest. After arriving home from the Mardi Gras party, I was resting up from the long and tiresome day before. But not my family!

They took off to the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour. They told me that they had a fantastic time looking about at all the boats and particularly the submarine... Go figure..!

They were already packed up before they left for the day's activities, so when they arrived home, we chatted for a little while, let them get refreshed, then half popped into a taxi and the other half into my boyfriend's car, and we headed to the airport. (Note to self: Holiday groups should be a maximum of 3 so they can fit in the one car with the boyfriend and I!)

We did the self-checkin in the Qantas terminal, and headed through security.

To my surprise a good friend of mine from Perth was coming through the security at the same time and I got to catch up with him also! Such a small world sometimes..

My family sat down for a short time and had a coffee and cake together. Before we knew it, it was time to board the plane. My boyfriend and I were given "thank you" gifts and within 5 minutes we were waving them goodbye as they disappeared down the airbridge.

It was such a quick trip here, with so much packed in. It was a shame they didn't relax more than they did. As this was our wedding present to Matt & Jessie, we originally wanted them to stay for about 2 weeks with us, seeing things slowly and staying in and out of the city, but they couldn't take the time off work. Although, with my Dad and Jessie's sister Anna wanting to come along too, it turned out to be a great family holiday for them.

Well they did have a great time in Sydney, and have talked about coming back again - so I'm looking forward to it!

Now it's back to work..!
