Michael had to attend a conference in Adelaide, Australia, so we took this opportunity to give ourselves a BabyMoon!
We started with a few days in Newport Beach, CA over the Thanksgiving holiday with Nikki's Dad. We had Thanksgiving dinner at a hotel, Larry Flynt was a few tables over. It was weird. (For some reason this is the only picture I have of our time in Newport Beach.)
Next we flew (14 hours) to Sydney, where we had a short layover (and they lost Nikki's bag) before flying to Adelaide, a small city in South Australia. Michael attended a conference at RAAF Base Edinburgh.
Our hotel was in downtown, on the River Torrens:
Adelaide is not a tourist destination, but has some amazing botanical gardens:
And a hospital where whole-body care is clearly a foreign concept:
On one of our last nights in Adelaide, we took the tram out to the suburb of Glenelg, which is on the coast:
On the beach with Doug, Michael's co-worker:
We also found out the sex of baby Craig! (You'll have to wait though!)
These guys were hilarious. Totally cementing the asian tourist stereotype.
We also visited a german suburb of Adelaide called Hahndorf:
But it really looked like the Baz Lurhman movie "Australia."
Michael ate his first Kangaroo meat. Nikki helped.
On the way back downtown we took pictures of Adelaide at night from atop Mount Lofty (creative name.)
We went to the Cleland wildlife park and met some dingos, koalas, kangaroo and interesting birds.
Did you know that Koalas smell like eucalyptus (and not a stanky animal) because that is ALL they eat?? So interesting and yummy smelling!
