Vacation in Thailand

Howdy friends!

We're back from vacation, and it was excellent. It's a long way from Denver to Phuket, but it can be done in relative comfort. I had plenty of room to walk around and play and even got some good sleep going both ways. The flight attendants thought I was cute. It turns out that I like caviar, which dad says is a habit I'd better get out of really fast.

I thought I might see an elephant on this trip, and I did. I thought they were pretty cool. Dad captured my expression when I saw my first elephant.


I was a popular guy in Thailand - it might be the blond thing, I don't know. In any case - men and women alike would come up and rub my arms as if I were a good-luck charm, and I appear as a prop in tons of japanese honeymoon videos.


It was a mellow vacation, for sure. Most days we would sim (swim) at the beach and in the pool, and I ate a ton of appah (pineapple), keam (ice cream) and watermellon juice (my favorite). I also got to ride around on boats and trucks, which I love.

There were tons of these frogs.


Of course - farmor and pa! (Grandpa) were there too. Farmor got me this nice orange truck that I played with the whole vacation. It was really nice. I left it down there for next time we go to Thailand, or for my cousin Leo to play with when he goes.



We ate a lot of dinners at a Thai restaurant on the beach. They had all of these toys, and a bunch of tanks with fish and cabs (crabs) in them. I like looking at crabs.

Well, that's about it, really. We did stop over in Korea going both ways, but didn't leave the airport (it was cold and rainy). Now we're back in cold, cold Colorado and we're still working off a little jetlag, but other than that, all is good. I even have a little bit of a tan.


On wednesday, we head down to Houston for an early Christmas celebration with the cousins. After that, we're done with travel for a while. I seem to always be on the go somewhere, but we'll be in town for a while after next week. For those of you that don't already know - I'm getting a baby sister on February 7th (or so). Everyone is very excited about that - they've taught me the phrase "baby sister".

Until later, Love. D
