I'm On My Own

Today was Jason's first day of work so Abby and I were out on our own. We went to go see another apartment which was no good. The pictures that they showed on the internet were gorgeous views of the Harbour Bridge but there was so much crap on the windows that you could hardly see the view! The other deal breaker was that the second bedroom only had a single bed which is no good for when we have visitors. Ashley could definately deal with a single bed but I didn't think making Jason's parents sleep in a single bed together was going to work :)

We took the train over to the North shore and walked down a huge hill (Manayunk style) to the apartment. I asked the woman that we met if there was another way back to the CBD because I just couldn't imagine pushing Abby in the stroller up the huge hill. She said there was a ferry right out front. Awesome! We took the ferry back to the CBD and home. I got myself a latte at the place next door and then home for Abby's nap. I was craving a brewed coffee as we can only do french pressed coffee (I know, fancy!) or instant coffee (in a tea bag) in the apartment. I guess I'll have to get used to tea.

We walked around the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) today which is an indoor-outdoor shopping mall of all extremely expensive boutiques. Abby was obsessed with a purse in the window of one of the stores. It was purple and sparkly and probably $500. She's going to be trouble!! Ash, you are going to LOVE the shopping here! Also of note in the QVB were the awesome structural details (I know I'm a dork!). If I had seen these before doing the design of the Stetson stair I might have....shown them to Jeff to help him do the design for me! Thanks Jeff!

On tap for tomorrow...visit Glebe, a suburb of Sydney. Looks like a nice place to live.
