Sydney, Australia (December, 2014)

Barrick Gold flew our family in business class on Qantas from Perth, Australia to Santiago, Chile to check out what could potentially be our new home city.  We stopped over in Sydney, Australia for about 24 hours before heading over to Chile, staying in the Hilton.  While we were there, we went to an escape room (Escape Hunt) with the kids. We did manage to get out with 7 minutes to spare, but we needed 2 clues.

Wedge Island, Western Australia, Boxing Day (December, 2014)

For Boxing Day (the day after Christmas), we headed to Wedge Island with our great friends the Kemps and Bollards.  Wedge Island is great because you can drive your car all the way along the beach.  It's a shallow beach with turquoise water and soft white sand.  It is one of our favorite spots in Western Australia.  We had a great time playing beach cricket, throwing the football, and just hanging out on a beautiful day with friends.
