Last night in Bangkok
October 19th--Since we loved our apartment so much here in Bangkok and didn't know what our accommodations were going to be like over the next couple of weeks, we decided to take the opportunity to just hang out for the day. There are 3 televisions, so plenty for everyone to watch what they wanted to watch as well. Abby and I did a lot of schoolwork this morning before heading out to the pool. We spent several hours swimming at the pool before...you got it...it started raining. After going inside, we all hung out watching movies and packing up our suitcases. Mike and I had arranged for a babysitter for the night so that we could go enjoy our last night in Bangkok and some local Thai food. We had KFC delivered to the room for the kids before the babysitter arrived at 7:00. Mike and I left via taxi heading to Baan Klang Naam restaurant. It took our taxi driver a while to find the restaurant. He had to make many turn arounds and pull over to ask another taxi driver. But, we got there nonetheless. The restaurant is open air and right on the river. We were able to enjoy some wonderful Thai food including crab sushi, fried prawns & fruit salad and a spicy shrimp salad. They aren't kidding when they say spicy either. It was probably the hottest thing I've ever had. It was a nice night out. When we got back to the apartment, the babysitter had the place all cleaned up and had even got our laundry out of the dryer and hung it up. She also told us that she rubbed Austin's back to get him to go to sleep. She was wonderful! After she left, we went to check on the kids and saw the funniest thing. Austin was in his 18 month footed pajamas that he carries around as his "blanket". He couldn't even straighten out his legs from being so crammed in there. Mike and I had a good laugh thinking about what the babysitter must have thought as she crammed him in the pajamas. She probably thought it was time for us to get him some new pj's! Anyway, after taking a picture we changed him back into his normal pajamas and headed to bed.
