Rockin' and Rollin'

There was another holiday, so we got Friday off. This meant another three day weekend to explore Thailand. We went with a group to another beach town, Pattaya. Pattaya is not known for being very family friendly (big sex tourism spot), but it is the home of The Hard Rock Hotel. To say the least...we didn't venture too far from there.

The Hard Rock was an awesome family resort and reminded me of a cross between Vegas and an all inclusive Mexican resort. We really enjoyed the pool, the rooms and buffet. The whole place was designed with families and children in mind. It had a kids club, foam party on Saturday night and water slides into a sandy pool (and a swim up bar for adults). I hope to go back again some time. Pattaya is only over an hours drive from Bangkok, so maybe just for the day. You can pay just for a day's pass to the pool:).

Foam Party!  In and out, in and out...
I think the foam was made from dish soap.  I may try to make this at home.  Foam block party.

The kids went crazy once the foam started.  Amelia was unsure at first, but LOVED it once she jumped in.  Liam just shock his head "no".

It was above her head on some parts.

At the beach across the street from the hotel.  The surf was a little choppy, so no swimming in the ocean this trip.

Wade joined in the party fun too.

The pool.

Kid area and slides.

Wade got Liam in for a little bit.  When not in the pool, we were being followed again by paparazzi.  Our friends said we need to create a price list sign>>> picture with mom holding him = 1 beer.  Picture with just him = mixed drink. Picture with a smile = mixed drink and beer for dad.

They roosted this pig all day Saturday for the dinner.  Amelia said she was not going to eat it.  There she goes again trying to be a vegetarian.  However, once I bribed her with the dessert bar that pork went down.

Both kids cried when we had to leave.....
