Back home!

We are back home now!! What an amazing trip! We are suffering a bit of jet lag right now but hope it passes over the next few days. All of the laundry is done and our three suitcases are unpacked. We still have to put away the souvenirs we brought home and put aside gifts we bought. Almost all back to normal here.

What will follow are a few posts to catch up on a few days of adventures that we didn't get a chance to post while we were on the road.

One thing is for certain - this trip has whet our appetite for more travel!!

Cleland Wildlife Park

July 14th we went to Cleland Wildlife Park. WOW what an amazing experience!! We were able to buy some grain pellets to feed the kangaroos - that was so cool and so much fun!!! We also were able to meet a koala up close and got our picture taken with her. Again - that was so cool and so much fun!! There were a lot of other cool animals and birds there.

Check out the joey in her pouch!!
