Alexandra's first trip to Thailand

 
 
Alexandra is 3 months now and we decided to go see great grandmother Tubtim for her 95th birthday event.  Audrey, Alexandra and I flew to Bangkok and stayed there for about 2 weeks.  Alexandra met all my close cousin and relatives. 
 
We also did some leisure activities like visitng Siam Ocean World which was a really nice aquarium. There were all types of marine life and we were even able to ride a boat and feed fish inside. 
 
We took a road trip to  Khao Yai and province 3 hours from Bangkok.  On the way we visited Chokchai Dairy Farm where we learned how they breed, milk and raise cows. We learned how ice cream and other dairy products were made. They also had other farm animals and domestic animals that Audrey got to feed and play with.
 
We did some shopping at JJ Mall. Lara was able to buy clothes for the girls and home products.  This mall was near the Chatuchak Market which sold things just like the market but it was in air conditioning and a big complex that was stroller friendly. 
 
Another fun place was Lumpini Park, there were great playgrounds there and we rented a paddle boat.  Audrey also saw huge Monitor lizards all around the ponds while she fed the fish.
 
Lara and Aaron enjoyed a trip to Healthland Massage Center.  They enjoyed 2-hour full body Thai Traditional massage.  Lara liked it so much she went 3 times because it was very close to they house we were staying at.  Overall, a wonderful vacation.
