On the weekend I spent three days in Sydney with my family and Pete in celebration of Dad's 50th birthday. We stayed in the heart of the city on George Street and had access to cheap eats in Chinatown, a free shuttle to take us to Circular Quay and beyond and Starbucks across the street! I love visiting Sydney because there's always so much to do and see. We took a jet boat ride through the harbour, which was incredibly fun, took the ferry to Manly for lunch and shopped at markets, walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and spent the day at Luna Park. At night we drank beer and cheap cocktails and ate $10 meals. It was nice to have a little family holiday and have a change of scenery for a weekend.
