The Final Moments in Thailand


Matt and I decided that spending time together and relaxing and pampering ourselves is how we wanted to end our trip instead of wearing ourselves out trying to see everything. So after the two temples we headed back to the hotel. We showered, I soaked in the bath and we just chilled. Feeling refreshed we went back out in to the streets in the evening and we ended up getting a 1 hour body massage and a 1 hour foot massage. Pretty dang nice. We ended by grabbing our last taste of Thai food and going back to the hotel to watch a movie. Then this morning at 3 AM we woke up and started our travel home. We can’t wait to see the kids again. They are so dang adorable and I can’t believe how grown up Ellie has been throw all this. I miss my best little friends. I am the luckiest person in the world.Matt and I decided that spending time together and relaxing and pampering ourselves is how we wanted to end our trip instead of wearing ourselves out trying to see everything.

So there you have it. The complete edition of "Mandy's Thailand Journal" with pictures at no extra charge. Above is a cute shot of the kids with us at the airport finally heading home. I love our kids so much!! They did absolutely amazing without us - -it looks like Quin is right after all -I am happy to discover that I really am not as important as I thought I was :)

Wells, thanks to you all for reading this. I have worked hard to put it together and I hope someone has enjoyed it. Love you all and thanks for the prayers and advice leading up to and during this trip.
LOVE,
Mandy

Mandy, I loved reading every word of it!!! It sounds like the dreamiest trip ever. I've added "riding around Thailand on a scooter with my husband" to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure this is going to come up at "joy" but this is Quin. First off, AWESOME! I love seeing your beautiful smile and reading your carefree words. Second of all, I think I need to clarify my words of wisdom before I get into too much trouble with you and others. :)
