Weekend in Sydney with mom and dad

So Friday I woke up thinking that I would be getting a call from mom and dad around 7:00 because their plane was supposed to get in at 6:45. I didn't get a call until about 8:30. Thanks. Anyways, I eventually made my way over to their hotel and it was so great to see them! We walked around circular quay where we then ate lunch and had 26 dollar fish and chips! Ugh. I then met up with my roommates at max brenners for some chocolate! I had a chocolate suffle with icecream.. so good! Then I went back and went swimming with Daner. We went back and showered and got ready to go out for dinner! We went to Darling Harbour to Helm bar.. aka "time out- world cup bar" and got chicken schnitzels and fries and my parents met all my roommates which was cool! After that we went back to the apartments to get ready to go out for the night.

Saturday I woke up and had to say bye to Melissa because she was leaving for the airport early.. it was very sad because she was the first one to leave and she cried. After that i went to meet my parnets where we then took the ferry to Manly where we walked around and got lunch. We went back and took them to my apartment where I got my stuff and i said bye to dana :( . It wasn't as sad as saying goodbye to Melissa because I dont think it really hit me. Then we went back to the hotel and just relaxed for the night.

Sunday we got up and went to the rocks where we waited for Danielle to come with her bags. Once she got there we headed to Circular Quay where we went to the Botantic Gardens and then St. Mary's Cathedral. Then we went to see Derek's old hostel and bar that he went to where he would try to "figure out what the hell he was doing with his life." Then I took my parents to steak and potatoes for one last time and it was delicious! I also showed them where I worked. After that we went back and my mom, Danielle, and I went to the rocks and did some shopping. Afterwards we got pizza and then it was about time for bed.

Monday we got up early and I said goodbye to Danielle. That also wasn't very sad because we both were pretty tired and it was really informal. My parents and I got on the shuttle and went to featherdale and did the blue mountains! It was a great day for it and I could actually see the mountains this time. It was a much better tour the second time around.. the views were beautiful! When we got back I just packed and relaxed and got ready for our big day to Cairns.
