So, for the last few years after leaving Singapore, we have been a bit remiss not having traveled as much as we could have since everything is so close in Asia. Then, here we are, having lived in Hong Kong for a year and we have not done much travelling. After I visited Thailand in February with Penelope, I wanted to go back so bad and take the kids and Scott too. Last minute we found a good deal to go, so we jumped on the chance - and we are SO glad we did. The travel was a bit tricky, because we are squeaky cheap and got flights in the middle of the night. But, the kids were troopers and maybe it added to the excitement to get to leave in the middle of the night.
Drew was tickled pink to be able to ride on the Airport Express - for some reason he has been asking to do that for quite a while now. Maybe it's the comfy seats? Who knows, but he was pretty excited just the same. We landed in Thailand around 3am, and by the time we went through customs and what-not, we arrived at our hotel at 5am. Who needs sleep anyway right? Well, I guess we did, because we hit the sheets and didn't move until 10:30. But, after that, we were ready to go.
We wanted to start the day with Thai pancakes - which were a favorite of mine from February. So, we jumped in a tuk-tuk and found a small little shop - they were delicious. After that we went back to check out the resort.
The room was huge (ha ha, maybe anything is huge when we compare it to Hong Kong size) and the kids even had bunk beds, so no sharing (i.e. he's touching me) through the night. A mom's dream come true.
We also had a sliding glass door and patio that overlooked the kid's pool. The kids had so much fun playing out there and making friends. Although, Taylor did get smacked across the face by a little girl. Starting young I guess.
The other pools were pretty amazing too. We had a good afternoon just swimming and enjoying the rain.
Then we walked down the street to Karon beach. We couldn't swim because of the rough waters, but the kids had fun splashing and playing in the water and sand.
Our little Olsen stinker is quite the dare devil, though and we had to have a firm grip on him at all times or else he dashed straight for the water. He was pretty much in Heaven, but he got pretty sad when we wouldn't let him go.
Ummm, then more Thai pancakes. Yes, they are that good.
After that we walked around the little town for a while checking it out and planning the adventures for the next couple of days.
