Monday awoke with a smile and Caden and I went through the resort in search of the most beautiful flower. It was a job Caden took very seriously:
An there were lots to choose from...
But I have to go with this one:
It was also Bob's birthday and we finished breakfast with cake, naturally. It's custom in India (and I have no idea why) to not just feed the lucky-birthday boy the first slice of cake but to smear it all over their face. Well, since it's custom... :)
I think she did a darn fine job for being new at this!
The morning finished with some more leisurely playing.
And a final stop in the butterfly garden where the kids enjoyed exploring immensely...
Our next and final stop in our journey was Marari Beach Resort, and it was fabulous! A fantastic beach and lots of space, a big pool, an ayurvedic spa, a little shop, a few restaurants and a number of bars. The rooms were big, clean and spacious, and again the bathrooms were open air (kinda cool I think).
The day was good, and while Caden's fresh squeezed orange juice was the last moment that apparently inspired me to take a photo, the look of post-vacation was had all-around. Dinner that night was complete...starting with a babysitter for the kids (Caden was asleep before she arrived, and stayed asleep while five kids played in the room), an open air restaurant with live music of classic ballads that made us sing along while we ate fresh seafood platters from snapper to lobster to prawns.
The morning brought some great pool time, a comment from Caden on breakfast that "my grandpa makes the best bacon" (he's apparently picked up on Indian subtlety) and all-around some great memories with some great friends. mmmmm...mmmm.. good.
