krabi, thailand with megs

my mom's visit marked seven weeks of consecutive visitors. we loved it--who doesn't love a party all the time?--but i'll admit we did almost nothing but laundry and hanging out at home this weekend to recover. 

after my mom left, my cousin megan, her husband marcus, and their darling mason came to visit. they were brave to bring little mase all the way to asia, but he was a trooper. they arrived from hong kong, and we flew straight to thailand the next day. i was thrilled to be back in krabi. the breathtaking cliffs, the jungly green, the coconut pineapple smoothies...this place has my heart. we stayed on railay bay and spent five days relaxing and exploring. nate joined us for the last few days of the trip.

mason was unimpressed with our first thai sunset


we saw...too many monkeys. at first it was cool, then we were far outnumbered and surrounded by these little guys...and it made me nervous!


one of our highlights was a cooking class with "ya"

her instructions for preparing each dish were "bang bang!" and "chop! chop!" we loved her. and the food was delicious.

sage and mase were ergo buddies

we rode elephants and got lots of mosquito bites doing it


i dig my traveling sidekick

we swam here daily, and woke up to this view each morning

i got my fill of thai soda water...the best.

we rented our own long boat for the day and went wherever we wanted.

sage loved "baby may"

we snorkeled while sage yelled "nemo!" at all the fish swimming around her

we got a little (a lot) sunburned, but that didn't stop us.

i marked floating lanterns off my bucket list!

it was a great, great trip.

i love that cousin of mine. i love reminiscing about working at days inn together, spending our summers on the lake, and all the adventures we've gone on together.
