Rayong

Bangkok may be a big, smelly city, but it is within driving distance to some nice, relaxing beaches.   Wade had a friend visiting Thailand who was staying near one (Rayong), so we decided to pack up the kids and go for a visit.  The drive to Rayong was just under three hours.   We stayed in a nice condo that had pools and was across from the beach.  Rayong is a quiet city with no night life so it was great for families with kids. We ate, swam, got sun and swam some more.   Both the kids cried when we had to leave.
 

This looks out to the ocean.  We camped out here all day having food and beer delivered.  

Liam is so funny.  The first day he said he hated the beach and wanted to swim only in the pool.  The second day, he said he loved the beach and didn't want to leave. 

Just relaxing. 

Waiting for the sunset.

The sun setting...pink sky at night, sailors delight.

Wade bought the kids floats.  They loved them.

Amelia said she wished the waves were bigger. 

These "muscle" make it so much better with Liam in/near the pool.  He doesn't have to depend on me as much and is learning to get around.  He now thinks he can swim.
