Thailand is the bestest!!

We're here. We've been here for 7 full days now. I don't want to leave.

All last week we spent at/near the beach. Our hotel walked out onto the beach, but we didn't actually spend much time there. Maybe we're lame. Or maybe we just like to look at it instead. Josiah and Michael had a great game of soccer on the beach. So cute. The next day, a lady commented on little man's skills. Haha. Our hotel was a 15 min walk to "town" (aka a bunch of random shops/restaurants/vendors/motels/cafes). We often rented bikes for $1/hour so we could explore a little more. It was fun and relaxing and our room was fab.

We arrived in Chaing Mai yesterday. I already love it more than where we came from. More cafes. More foreign restaurants. Cute alleys with mom and pop shops. And this is only from a few hours of exploring. We're going to be here the next 2 weeks. Can't wait to see more!

Josiah is loving just running around. Poor kid has skinned knees and lots of leg bruises from falling (does this ever end??), but he doesn't even cry. Gets up and runs some more. This morning, we were at the mall and someone gave him a balloon. He played soccer by himself all over the mall for at least 30 mins until we forced him back in the stroller since he only had one shoe on. One broke, after buying it 4 days ago. Lame, knock-off, $3 crocs. For now, a twisty tie is holding the strap on. Haha. Maybe we'll spend another 3 bucks to get him another pair. ;) (*Insert grammie complaint here.*)

Also a bonus, Josiah is sleeping well. We haven't even had to put him in the bathub yet--haha. These 2 hotels have had an actual crib. He's not the best sleeper in new places, so a crib has definitely helped. (He is terrified of his little tent we got him....) Hotel #3 probably won't have a crib....ugh. We'll see what happens.

Welp, the tike is about to wake and we're headed out for more adventures. Weee!!
