Our Short Getaway - Port Dickson 25 -28 Oct

This was a trip planned entirely by Daniel. It was a short self drive trip to Port Dickson with the family with the objective of "Enjoying Each Other" with no strings attached. For that reason, photography for me was restricted and Daddy and Mommy could only bring one book each to read. I must say, this short trip was a real blessing to me and I enjoyed myself very tremendously. Oh yes, so did the kids:) Looking back, I am so very grateful to be able to do this.

Every morning, Sarah would ask, "Where's Sa going?" And Mommy would happily reply to her, "We are going to swim and play sand." With a lilt in our steps, we would trudge off to the sandy beach linked to the hotels. Well, Sarah and Samuel literally wore their wetsuit for a large part of the day, at the breakfast table, at the playroom, and at the beach and swimming pool. Our first stop, we stayed at Thistle, which just reopened in May after a major 5 month renovation. Everything in the room was spanking new and it was right beside the Malacca Straits.

Then, we headed to Avillion for the rest of the holiday. This is a pretty much self contained recluse and there were so many things to do for the entire family...and instead of living right beside the sea, we were living in the middle of it.

That's Sarah at breakfast in her wetsuit.

Grandma and grandpa who came along to help us with the kids.

Samuel had a whale of his time feeding and touching the pets in their in-house pet farm.

This baby bunny was too cute to be fearful of that even Sarah managed to stroke it a few times. 

That's Sarah at the playroom in her wetsuit, again.

That's how Samuel was during the trip, laughing and laughing, playing and sleeping.

On the final morning, the tide receded so much that we could walk across the beach and into the sea where we saw swarms and swarms of soldier crabs and other interesting sea creatures.

That's sea grapes for you [according to Rubi our helper]

It was only 4 days but it felt so long. And I take home much from this wonderful, burden-free trip. Thank you God for all the blessings that you have given...
