Last weekend we had a three day weekend and thought we would spend it relaxing at home. I slept in (pregnancy perk or the usual, you decide) and by the time I woke up Rocky had had enough of home and was perusing Agoda.com for cheap hotel rooms close by.
Now that Vi has reach 15 months and is entering her year long phase as a sociopathic tornado, it's just better if we are outside with her. It's still over 100 degrees in Bangkok, so we booked a room in the mountains a couple hours away and within 30 minutes we were loaded and on the road.
The hotel we stayed at had everything from dune buggies to a mountain luge. All were designed for the excitement level of a 4 year old.
This is E doing a thumbs up.
They also had a sky-chair ride. By "sky" they meant it was about 15 feet off the ground. Our kids are really easy to please.
Elie had a melt down about something, I don't remember what, and to pacify her I gave her this really cool hat I found. She wore it all day.
The inside turned foggy from the humidity of her sweaty head.
The weather was fantastic, at least 10 degrees cooler and we even had a breeze (pretty non existant in Bangkok).
Vi loved the mountain luge (it was about 10 meters long). Every time we reached the bottom she would refuse to get out of the cart. Don't worry, she's wearing an invisible helmet. We're all about safety first around here.
Not us (our friends). We took Eliot on all sorts of things and at the end we asked her what our favorite thing she did was and she said playing in the pool. The pool was neat. It was a foot deep which is perfect for us--but it was also free and we paid (albiet not much) for almost everything else. I guess we've learned our lesson. We will no longer spend money on our children.

Vi's hair is so long and blonde! You need to post more pics, they are all awesome. I love E's hat and the fact that her favorite thing was the pool. Looked like a fun little get away!
This looks like a lot of fun. Eli's hat made me laugh. It's so fun you can do all of that for so cheap!
How did I miss that you're expecting?? I'm so thrilled for you! I'm sorry you're dealing with the nausea right now. Nothing worse. We are in Houston for the summer for an internship, and I feel like I can relate with you a little more because it is incredibly hot and humid here. But I'm sure it's not as bad as in Thailand. Love to you and your beautiful family from the Hicks family!
What a fun place you guys found! Pretty clever with the shower cap Sarah. She must have really loved it to keep it on the way she did, in that heat. The sky ride cracks me up. We are really excited for the newest little Smart boy. He is evening out the male-female ratio of our grand kids. He will make us have eight of each.
