Travel {Dubbo}

I know I've been doing all this travel talk about Bali, lately, but today we're going to talk about Dubbo.  Say what?  Yes, it is a real place.  We are heading to the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, Australia.  We're going the last weekend of this month and we'll be there for three days and two nights.

My husband surprised us today with the trip.  He booked us into a cottage at the Immarna Bed and Breakfast.  It's a bit funny that we'll be staying on an 800 acre Angus cattle ranch, being that we are now vegan and all.  We're breaking all kinds of rules...going to a zoo and staying at a ranch.  Should be interesting.  We have been wanting to have some more "Australian" experiences during our time here.

 

We'll be driving, but it's only four hours from our house.

Speaking of going vegan.  All is still going really well and the hubby is now down 25lbs!  With all his new energy he is even starting an eight week bootcamp.  First day is tomorrow at 6am.  He let me take some before BC photos today (although he's already lost a bunch of weight).  I'll have to be sneaky, but I'll share some before and after photos at the end of his bootcamp experience.

Adventure One...

It was a gorgeous day, yesterday, for a zoo day!  We had a great time at the beautiful Taronga Zoo in Sydney!  Take a look at some of our photos, from our first day of adventure...

I think we can all agree that the view from the zoo is pretty spectacular!

Definitely a must see, if you're ever in Sydney!

It's Time...

You get busy going about the day-to-day and suddenly realize that it's time for a little adventure! 

This happened to us the other day, so my husband took a few days off work, starting tomorrow.  At first our plans were big, but then we had a time and reality check and scaled them down a bit....

So, tomorrow we're going to Sydney's Taronga Zoo, for the first time.

Thursday, we're going to Bondi Beach and maybe a few others too.

Then Friday, we're going to finally hike through the botanical gardens in the Blue Mountains.

Let the adventures begin!
