One of the reasons we chose the Movenpick was because of its Kids' Club. The resort in Vietnam didn't offer a whole lot for kids beyond swimming. The staff pampered them though, and we all had a great time. We wanted something extra for the girls this trip and this resort delivered.
A couple of afternoons, Larry and I wanted to get out and explore. No complaints from the girls. We dropped them off after several hours of swimming. We told them they could order food and do one chargeable activity. Since the worker to kid ratio was in our favor I felt very comfortable leaving them.
Larry and I strolled along the streets. He'd stop and chat with the different store owners while I perused the goods. We daydreamed about moving there, owning a little restaurant and all of us working at it. I bought three samosas for twenty Baht (about seventy-five cents)from a street vendor. They were without a doubt the tastiest I've had. Those things are about eight to ten dollars at restaurants around here. We sipped margaritas and people-watched.
When we returned, the girls were just finishing up their dinner. The twins had a grand time. Katie thought it was ok. There weren't any kids her age, so she sulked a bit.
The second time we went exploring only the twins wanted to go to the Kids' Club. Katie came with us. We went to the 'Shoppers Market'. She tried to find a new bathing suit. I'd rather have a root canal than go shopping for bathing suits with her. Let's just say she didn't find one that day. She did find a flower clip for her hair to match the sundress previously purchased.
The twins were 'performing' when I arrived. They were surrounded by six or seven staff members. Once again, the Whitfield girls captured their audience with America's Next Top Model. I stood there shaking my head. Walking back to our villa, the girls looked so cute in their dresses. I told Larry we'd have to go to another tropical destination, so we could wear all of our tropical garb again. He raised his eyebrow.
