Thailand Day 2

It has been rainy here, but it hasn't stopped us from having any fun. We decided to see if there was any way that we could get out snorkeling with the boys. They had a children's adventure where there are perfect places for kids to snorkel. The area out in the ocean named Khai Nui was too choppy for the kids to get into, so we skipped that area and took the kids to Khai Nok. The area was perfect. The shallow waters were knee height and until Isaiah got comfortable enough to venture out he could bend his knees and look into the water. Braxton loved to be out in the deep area where the fish would just swim right up to his mask. Isaiah finally became comfortable and went out into the deep area and was even more comfortable when he was holding onto someones hand. Great day!


Thailand Day 1

Let's just say that we love our hotel. It is so out of the way from the downtown hustle and bustle. They have a pool on the roof with amazing views of the ocean about a ten minute walk from where were are at. It has been very humid here, but not too hot. It does affect the picture quality. We are basically in a tropical jungle area. Super fun! Phuket was hit with the tsunami a few years back, but our hotel was not affected in any way other than just opening the day before the tsunami happened and has been struggling financially because tourism here hasn't come back up to it's fullest again.
Our room and the restaurant both have amazing views. After our long flight we decided to all take a long nap. Afterwords the boys went to the pool and sent me to the spa here for a 3.5 hour massage. Nice! I could get used to that very quickly!
