June 17th: My 27th Birthday

Best. Birthday. Ever.

Took a boat to an island called Laan. White sands, beautiful weather. Snorkeled. Ate Thai food under an umbrella. Took a motorbike around the island. Enjoyed ice cream. Bought a dress. Nearly missed our boat back to Pattaya. Had to run down the beach to catch it. Really good adventure. Total cost in US dollars... $35.

After the island fun we went to a mall and bought some inexpensive, large-sized, American clothes so we could go out to a nice restaurant with our friends, Taa and Colin (most Thai stores here only sell small sizes. Dear Thailand, I know I still have some baby weight to lose, but am I really a size XXL? Really?). The restaurant was called Cherry's and it was absolutely delicious. They served a palette cleansing sorbet before the main course, so you know they mean business. The prices were equivalent to...I guess an Applebees. I think I might be tempted to stay here.









Stopping at a vista point.

Happy Birthday! Thailand looks like such a fun place and with everything so inexpensive I'd be tempted to go crazy on the fun :)

Whitney,
I love your freckles and Scott's freckles. They prove that you both have red-headed genes! Really attractive on both of you! The sun gives you lots of good stuff along with some bad...
Hope you have more fun vacation days like your birthday...Love, JuJu
