We Found Church! Sticky Waterfall & Chiang Dao Cave

This morning Superman decided to try a Thai breakfast (the hotel has 4 choices). Below is Littlest’s reaction to the smell of the fish chili paste. Not gonna lie, I nearly lost my breakfast when I smelled it. Superman talked to the hotel workers and they don’t even like it! Church was a short 15 […]

Old City Chiang Mai Walking Tour

Hotel breakfast included salad with a dressing that tasted like bacon. Not gonna lie, I don’t think salad is a breakfast food. We also had eggs, ham, sausage that tasted like bland hot dogs, and bread with butter and jam (which doesn’t dry out in 5 seconds like it does at home). Oh, and they […]

Pandemic Parody

This is a crazy time in the world isn’t it? With everything shut down, or maybe starting to open up again, it’s easy to get bogged down with feelings of uncertainty or even fear. So, we decided to do something fun to get our minds off of it all…. Ray had the idea to use […]
