Nong Khai April 18-April 19, 2019 We made it to Nong Khai late evening on Thursday. When we were first planning our trip to Thailand we had no plans of going to Nong Khai. We were just going to go to Yasothon and Roi Et, then take a more direct route to Chiang Rai. The … [Read more…]
Khon Kaen April 16-April 18, 2019 We flew into Khon Kaen about 8:00 PM on Saturday April 13, 2019. We went straight to our hotel, we didn’t even eat dinner, and went to bed. When we woke up we ate breakfast at our hotel, checked out and we left Khon Kaen for a few days. … [Read more…]
Yastothon April 14-April 16, 2019 Yasothon was our first major destination when we went to Thailand. We did fly into Chiang Mai, then caught a flight right away to Khon Kaen. We did stay the night in Khon Kaen and headed to Roi Et, where we played Songkran for a few hours. After Roi Et … [Read more…]
Songkran is a holiday in Thailand celebrated April 13-April 15. It is the traditional New Year in Thailand, and is when the sun passes through the constellation Aries. (Follows the solar calendar.) During Songkran the city shuts down, people go home to celebrate with their families, and the country has a giant water fight! The … [Read more…]
Thailand is great, but getting there is kind of rough! For us we went to two other countries before we even made it to Thailand! We saved about $200 a ticket by flying out of Vancouver Canada, which is about 2 hours away from our home. It was definitely worth it for us to fly … [Read more…]
When we were in Thailand we went ALL over the place! Since we did a lot of things I will break those up into different blog posts, but here is a quick over view of the trip! First we drove to Vancouver Canada after Chris got home from work on April 10, 2019 and stayed … [Read more…]
Chris and I travel very similarly to each other, but probably fairly different from a lot of people. We are busy and like to go go go. We don’t necessarily want to over do it, but we do want to do a lot! We also aren’t really beach people. Although we do enjoy the water … [Read more…]
We recently took an epic family trip to Thailand! I love traveling/going on adventures and I loved doing it with my family as I was growing up. I lived in China for about a year (6 months once, then 4 months the second time) and since then I was hooked on traveling. I don’t really … [Read more…]
This was a different reading month for us, since most of the month we were traveling in Thailand. I figured I’d either read a lot, or not much at all. I don’t tend to read too much on vacation because our vacations are normally go, go, go. But I figured I may read a bit … [Read more…]
March was a busy reading month for us! Ryan had a field trip to the local library, so we got a ton of great ideas of more books to read! A lot of my library holds become available this month as well, so I was able to listen to a lot of those! A few … [Read more…]
Spring has come to Seattle! The weather is warming up, the sun is shining a lot longer and a lot more often, and we are enjoying it! (Although I still do enjoy the rainy days too!) We were able to do a lot of fun things in March (which was MUCH needed for all of … [Read more…]
There have been some really fun things going on at the school this month! First we had Heritage Night. Heritage Night is where families are encouraged to come and show off their culture to the school. There is a potluck where people are encouraged to bring in their favorite dish, or a dish that represents … [Read more…]
Chris has been looking at speakers for our media room that will be in our basement once its done. We decided to go to Best Buy to look at their selection, and for Chris to listen to a few different options. When we were at one Best Buy listening to their set up, golf was … [Read more…]
Ryan has started to play tether ball at school, and LOVES it. Chris briefly mentioned that maybe one day we could build our own tether ball pole, and Ryan has held him to it. Of course it didn’t happen as quickly as Ryan wanted, but finally we had a nice weekend, all the supplies we … [Read more…]
This weekend Chris was able to get some yard work done. We got about a ton of big rocks to build up our retaining wall in the front of the house so that our front yard is a little more level and less of a hill. Chris just picked up one load so he was … [Read more…]
