Jen and Oliver were nice enough to offer to keep Avery for a couple of days so we could go on a date somewhere nearby. We decided to visit Phuket for a relaxing, beachy getaway. It was beautiful! We arrived in the evening and hung out at the pool. The following day we explored the beach before hiring a driver and visited the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, and the downtown area.
The next day we crossed off one of our bucket list items and went to an elephant sanctuary, which was amazing! Then we spent the evening on Bangla Walking Street taking in the sights. I wish we’d had one more day so we could have visited the Phi phi islands, but overall it was an incredible experience!
We got the best room at the resort! 
There was enough room for our entire family in our suite 
At the pool – the water was SO warm! 
When we returned the message on the bed had changed!

We bought a tile and wrote our family’s names on it. It will be built into the Big Buddha.

It was tempting to drop Jonathan off so I could get a little free time. Ha! 
In a tuk tuk!
