My 28th Birthday

A picture blog from my birthday weekend:

July 10th 2014:

I share a birthday with Teacher Mint and Teacher Oi! 

The students were told it was my birthday and they wished me a happy one!

 

I saw this rainbow on my birthday, a good reminder that God is faithful to his promises!

Celebrated at my favorite restaurant in Nakhon Thai with lovely friends!

 July 11th:

After 11 hours of traveling we reached BKK and had dinner at Outback and had this amazing view throughout the night.

Outback Birthday Burger. It was still my birthday, somewhere in the world. :-)

 

July 12th:

DREAMWORLD!!!

 Dreamworld is Bangkok's only amusement park. It kinda reminded me of Alabama Adventure. We rode two roller coasters. One was named Space Mountain, and it was pretty much a cheap version of the one at Disney. The Disney one has more stars and the ride is air conditioned as opposed to having fans blow hot air around. There were two water rides that were really fun! There was also a section where you could walk around and see miniatures of the 7 wonders of the world. Another part of the park was "fairy tale land" and you could see sleeping beauty's castle, the witches house from Hansel and Gretel, as well as the house of the 7 dwarfs, etc.

Before and after the Super Splash ride.

For dinner we discovered this cute little french restaurant in the mall, Audrey's Cafe. Enjoyed a Caesar salad and a yummy strawberry dessert. :-)

 

July 13th:

Breakfast at Big Apple Donuts. Hot chocolate and strawberry red velvet pancakes.

After breakfast we went shopping at the huge weekend market in Bangkok. It's not my favorite, it's hot, and crowded. After the weekend market, I got to unleash my inner Sherlock Holmes at Escape Hunt!!

After we had solved the mystery and escape the room!

Had Mexican from a food truck in the mall!! Lily's first time to eat Mexican food. Her exact words, "It's weird, but it's good."

After dinner, Terri and I saw Transformers 4 in one of Bangkok's many movie theaters. It wouldn't be my birthday if a trip to a movie theater wasn't included. :-)

July 14th:

Woke up at 3:00 in the morning and watched the rest of the World Cup final. After the game I went back to sleep for a few hours and we headed back to Nakhon Thai.

Oh! One more thing worth noting, that during our travels on the buses Terri and I watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy. She had never seen them! Good weekend indeed!
