Road Trip 2 - San Diego

In 2018, we also did a road trip to San Diego with another Singaporean family. We are fortunate to meet good friends that we can get along with and has a daughter that is almost the same age as Charlotte. They get along very well too. I am even more fortunate to be pregnant at the same time as my friend and our due dates are just a few weeks apart! We are both having boys too! How coincidental is that? With so many similarities and of course their easy going nature, it makes traveling together so much more at ease.

We stayed in an air bnb for this trip thus the girls got to spent a lot of time together.
We visited 3 main attractions. The Zoo, Seaworld and The New Children's Museum. 

1. The Zoo
We took the tram and cable car around the zoo as it was part of our tickets. Usually we have to pay extra and always walked around instead.
The animals were all pretty active. So we caught glimpse of quite a lot of animals.
2. SeaWorld
I love the beluga whales and Orcas best. Their sheer size and the look of the texture of their body, gives me the urge to touch them.
Waiting for the Orca show to begin.
We also caught the dolphin show.
There was an Elmo world in SeaWorld with a playground and even a couple of kiddy rides that the girls could go on by themselves.
3. The New Children's Museum. This place turned out to be a hit with Charlotte. She loved the place so much, she even asked to returned when we are back in LA. It's a 3 storey museum dedicated to kids.
Everything is interactive. They can touch anything and climb anything they see. There is also an an outdoor area dedicated to clay making.
We ended the museum trip with more play at the playground outside of the museum.

We allocated more than enough time for each attraction. 1 each day. It may seem like a long trip for just San Diego but I think it was good that we took things slow. At least the kids could enjoy themselves and not be rushed.

On the way back, we made 2 stops. One at Laguna beach. It was highly recommended by a friend so I had to take a look for myself. It was indeed a beautiful beach.
The final stop was a stop at the mall for a ferries wheel ride to end the day!

We are heading to San Diego again this Friday. This time, to Legoland! We booked the theme hotel for this stay. The princess hotel. I am probably even more excited than Charlotte as I love theme hotels. I think we managed to snag a pretty good deal on the cyber Monday sale. Hope it does not disappoint!

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Pending Down My Thoughts for 2021

 10.07pm, 31 Dec 2021.  The year 2021 is coming to an end. The year of Covid. The year we left LA and returned to Singapore for good. It has been 9 months since we got back but I still feel like it happened so recently. One of the Singaporean family we met in LA and hung out very often is in town to visit. Charlotte asked if we can return to LA together. She asked if we are really not going back anymore. We all miss LA a lot. Definitely much more than Moscow even though Moscow is a very memorable place too.  Spent the day at Sentosa, The Luge. Kiddos had a lot of fun despite the heat. I enjoyed myself a lot too and I am missing the times we hung out in LA. Thinking about them going back and us staying behind makes me a little sad. The kids still got along very well even though we have not met for sometime. Hopefully their friendship will remain as they continue to grow up. Recap of 2021 1. I realized I can bake.  2. I love making bread or trying to make food cute. 3....
