After hanging out in Bangkok for a few days and reconnecting with friends we had not seen in awhile (unexpectedly), we headed to the beach. The day before we left a friend offered to watch the kids while David and I went to get coffee and he debriefed his meetings for me. He does a great job of keeping me in the loop from all his travels and meetings, it really helps me stay connected to all he is doing!
Our van picked us up and then we picked up the family of 7 that was vacationing with us. Yes, that is right, they have five kids, that made the kid to adult ratio 2 to 1 with us all together. That may sound crazy but it was so much fun and the kids were fantastic. The van ride down took us just over two hours, it passed quickly! The place also had a really nice kids club where you could leave the kids with supervision for a little while, we usually did this a bit in the afternoon.
The pool area was really nice and perfect for our kids. This place had another larger pool with baby pool attached, but we stuck with this one, it was less busy.
I love these shots David took of the kids. They are growing fast:
The reason we probably would not return to this resort: the lack of beach access, at least for this time of year. It is right on the beach but the water comes up to a wall this time of year. To actually get to sand you have to walk quite a bit. We did it once and pretty much stuck with the pool.
Soph is still swimming well and getting really comfortable in the water.
