About three weeks ago, we headed to Thailand for five full days of fun in the sun and pure relaxation. Thailand is our happy place :). Wes and I adore going there and so do our kiddos (last Saturday, Everly woke up asking if we could go to Thailand for the weekend ;)). We have our routine down - the girls are typically up no later than 6:30 in the morning and we head to breakfast, we scarf down as much coffee as possible and then head to the hotel room to get ready for the day. We alternate between the swimming pool and the beach from 8 to 2 often breaking for ice cream or watermelon smoothies somewhere in between. About 2, we take the girls back to the room for snacks and a rest. At 4 we wake them up, they feed the fish, most likely hop back into the pool before we get ready for dinner between 6 and 6:30. We eat dinner, the girls watch a show on TV and then we head to bed and get ready to do it all over again the next day. And sometimes, I sneak away for a massage during their rest (this last time, I got two!!). It is so relaxing, the girls behave pretty well and we all just have the best time. Here are a few pictures from our first two days if you would like to take a look :).
^ this sweet elephant was waiting on our beds when we checked in around 1 in the morning. ^
^ obsessed with the palm tree reflection in the infinity pool. ^
^ even though we went during rainy season, only the first day was overcast. ^
^ my three loves on the beach. ^
^ excited for her first seashell hunt of the trip. ^
^ ocean loving girl ^
^ two sisters ^
^ how did she get so big?? ^
^ best friends (some of the time ;)) ^
^ watermelon smoothie (the other caption could be: rough life ;)). ^
^ when we headed to the room, Wes surprised the girls with a new floatie!! ^
^ it was crazy big and the talk of the hotel (seriously, so many people asked us where we got it from - answer, tao bao). ^
^ right after we got it out, it poured. this was the only time the rain got in the way of anything we had planned, but we headed back to the hotel room and had a nap. after the nap (and apparently a swimsuit change for Ev's again) we headed back to the pool - ginormous floatie in tow. ^
^ when your swimsuit accidentally matches your floatie, I must take a picture. ^
^ that night we had a few drinks while we watched the girls swim and we headed back to the room and just grabbed room service for dinner. while waiting for our food to be delivered, I noticed the sunset so we headed down to snap a picture :). ^
^ after breakfast, we headed to the ocean for twirly beach pictures (more to come on that in another post). ^
^ me and my mini ^
^ palm trees and blue skies ^
^ stunning ^
^ that cute family on the right had two boys about the girls age and they were staying right next door. the girls loved playing with them during the remainder of the trip. ^
^ this girl likes to jump off things :) ^
^ I honestly can't tell which girl this is... I am leaning towards Emma though. ^
^ this girl has been going to swimming lessons at school and we were so happy that she would go under water!! ^
^ go, Evsie's go! ^
^ Emma went down this slide no less than 100 times a day it seemed like. she doesn't need anyone to catch her anymore either! ^
^ we brought our giant unicorn back out!! ^
^ chilling ^
I'm always amazed at how your photos make it look like you and your family are the only people there (especially on the beach)! Such cute swimwear and what a fantastic float - looks like a great getaway. I want to go to Thailand!
