Moore Beach Adventure











Hello my faithful blog readers.....even though I don't know who you are because you don't leave messages and for all I know I could be writing this for nothing!!!
Get the point!
So the Mister took us to the beach over the weekend. It was amazing!! The weather was not all that great but it was something new and the boys loved it. It was very hot at the beach just rainy. Its very weird for it to look like it should be cold and blustery outside and then when you go out its hot and humid. The Mister keeps our apartment and hotel rooms very cold. You can see your breath sometimes. I think he moved to the wrong climate.
It was a 2 hour drive from Bangkok. We had to hire a driver because the Mister has not had time to pick up our van. Hopefully we will have it next week. We stayed at a Courtyard Marriott with a pool and kids room. Even with the rain the boys still swam in the pool and went to the beach. Its easy to do when its 100 degrees. The kids room had a movie theater, Internet, PlayStation oh and girls. That is what Tanner liked about the weekend. He met alot of girls. He was working it all weekend.
We went into town for dinner and met some amazing local people. The town we were in was called Cha Am. Very low key little village. We went back to same place we ate dinner on Friday and sat with the owners and talked for hours. They played with the boys, showed them magic tricks and filled us in on the towns history. All the while they kept bringing me Mai Tais. They don't put umbrellas in their drinks they put real flowers and a banana slice. Who knew! After dinner we moved down the street a little to a bar....I know right no way could we take the boys to a bar in Washington, but wait it gets better. Right next to the bar was a Internet cafe. It was pouring down rain so the boys played games and the Mister and I sat and had more Mai Tais!! We sat and talked to the owner all night did not hear a peep from the boys until their time ran out. Then they said they were starving. Thought we were going to have to go when the owner of the bar said she could make French fries and more Mai Tais!! What A brilliant idea!! Did not have to walk in the rain to find food and the Mai Tais would keep coming. I know your thinking wow that's a lot of alcohol. Don't worry I also ate alot of bananas. Soaked it right up! Thai peeps are very smart.
During the day the Mister had rented a motor bike so when it was not raining and before all of the Mai Tais he had taken the boys for rides all over town. They said it was the best weekend ever. I would have to agree. I will always look for bars conveniently located next to Internet cafes. That way the whole family will be happy!
We have decided to spend Christmas at the beach. Not sure where yet. It will be a very different Christmas for our family so we decided to make it special. If it is going to be 100 degrees then I would like to be on a beach. Yep you guessed it, with a Mai Tai!
Hope you all are doing well. We miss everyon so much but we are enjoying Thailand. Hope to hear from you soon.
