LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA


Noah had 2 weeks off in October for fall break. 
So we went to Langkawi, Malaysia for 5 days. 
It was perfect.

A small sleepy beach town in northern Malaysia, right by the Thai border. 
 
 

There were rows and rows of these Muslim women waiting at the airport in Langkawi.  So colorful.

 

I have a confession to make. 
We didn't leave the hotel the entire time. 
Unless you count a bike ride.

Just hung out with these handsome boys the whole trip. 
And loved up every minute of it. 




At 4pm every day a fisherman came onto the beach, banged a big gong, and sold his day's catch.  We picked out our red snapper and sent him off to the beach bbq for dinner. So good. Seriously, so good.


The boys LOVED the kids' club. Games, friends, Malaysian music lessons on drums, kiddie yoga. Too much fun.


Dave and I loved the food. And sitting outside with the boys. Except for that one fuzzy black caterpillar who paid us a visit and left red itchy marks all over Dave's neck, and legs and hands. Who knew those could be poisonous? Now we do.




This is how the boys felt about going home. 

Me too.

I am so amazed - all the time - by the things you are doing and seeing. Your boys are already seasoned travelers :) You said you didn't leave the hotel (except for the bike ride) and no wonder! Why leave? Looked the the perfect vacation - the kind where you actually rest and rejuvenate!
