For spring break this year, we took two weeks off of life and spent the time in India and Thailand. It was truly the best time ever and we feel so grateful!
We spent a week in Kerala and enjoyed lots of family time! Ammachi and her favorite grandchild 🙄When I think of India, the first thing that comes to mind is eating melting ice cream in the sweltering heat! 😆SO thankful the girls get to have similar memories! We celebrated Jacob’s birthday in India by spending the day on a houseboat! My fondest recent memory of India is drinking chai and hanging out on the front porch while the kids run around, literally the best time just sitting! 😆
After a week of visiting family, SHOPPING ☺️, eating yummy food, and early morning sunrise walks, we loaded up the crew and headed to Bangkok and Phuket for the second leg of our trip!
Once we landed in Bangkok, we stored our extra luggage at the airport storage for the week and set off to our hotel.
Not gonna lie, after a week in India we were more than ready to be pampered and this hotel DID NOT disappoint!
The service, the rooms, and just the overall hotel was so nice! We loved it! We enjoyed two nights here in Bangkok.
After we dropped off our bags at the hotel, our first stop was a late lunch! This is where I discovered my new love for mango sticky rice 🤤We took a cab to the Chatuchak Market and shopped for a bit. A week after we left, an earthquake hit this area and the market was greatly affected by it. So thankful we missed it but sad to hear it happened.Later that night, my dad and Jacob took the girls for a swim! While I have this cutie a bath and ordered room service! We all ate and immediately collapsed after a long day of travel and exploring. We were up and at ‘em the next morning! Ready for another day of exploring. We took the subway and a tuktuk to visit the famous emerald buddha temple.My parents stayed back with Levi while we visited the compound a bit more! We headed back to hotel and grabbed lunch on the way! Ice cream for the girls! And of course, mango sticky rice for me! My mom went for a massage and to get her nails done, while we enjoyed the gorgeous pool area in the hotel! That evening, we ordered takeout for the kids/parents and tucked them into bed. Jacob and I snuck out for a date night and enjoyed dinner at the rooftop restaurant! 😍The next morning, we packed up and headed off to our next destination: PHUKET!
Can’t wait to share details of our time in beautiful Phuket!
