Day 1
Adventure started when we reached the car park and unloaded our bags and the kids. Not knowing where we were since rws consist of 5 hotels, we landed at the Casino area which is quite a distance away from Hard Rock! Security came to our rescue and we were escorted on a buggy which miraculously managed to fit us and our many luggages! The kids enjoyed the ride as we zipped through car parks and went up and down hill!!
Upon reaching, we were fortunate to be given early check in at Hard Rock Hotel. Once we reached the room everything else seemed to automatically experience a vacation slowdown mode.
We were supposed to drop our belongings and rush to UNiversal Studios, but the kids were so happy with the room and refused to leave. Plans had to be aborted and we arranged with Dan and Sarah to meet at S.E.A aquarium instead.
The Aquarium was amazing and the kids were simply attracted to the huge display of colourful fishes. Natalie and Nathan decided to mimic the way fishes were swimming and lied flat on their tummy in front of the tanks thinking that they were fishes too! We were amazed with the reaction!! It was such a natural thing to do.. the attraction to waters and swimming like Ariel with the colourful fishes. They loved touching the sea star! No sense of fear just pure enjoyment even when the fishes are way bigger in size. The tank that kept the manta rays was the best attraction ranked by princess. She said the manta ray is like an umbrella, sheltering the little fishes hiding underneath. The rays will swim so close to you and it felt like you could almost touch it. Nathan wanted to sit and watch the fishes swim by and doing so lying down made it seem like they were really swimming with them.
Yiyi: natalie, do you see those human looking fishes in the tank?
Natalie: yiyi, they are divers!
Papa comes along
Ma: what are those papa?
Pa: fish keepers!
Natalie: those are divers!
Pa: erm u know zoo keepers look after the zoo, so these guys look after the fishes what..
(Eyes rolling...)
Day 2:
Spent the entire day at USS and we were stuck at transformers end for a really long time!! Kids loved watching the "human" roller coasters zooming by and Nathan exclaimed "see mama! See papa! See yiyi! See popo!" A million and one times!
Natalie didn't like the robot at all and kept going through the map to find the route to the castle!
Nat: papa i want to go to the far far away castle! Thats where the princess stays right? I want to go there! (She points on the map). Interesting... She knows how to read her maps!!
Well the day seemed to have past really fast and we didn't even manage to get to the jurrasic park zone! Well there is always the next time!
Day 3: breakfast at coffee bean followed by Free and easy at the swimming pool at hard rock. It was Nathan's first experience with sand and like his jie jie he didnt like the feeling of sand at all! He refuses to step on it and clings tightly to me. Such a cutie ;) well, jie jie had fun building her castles.
We checked out and without papa it was tough but we managed with bellboy's help ;)
This was followed by late lunch at chilies and we continued shopping around till 6ish. Not forgetting the brownie pitstop that we always make at the rws invite lounge before we stroll back to the car.
We certainly had fun at this stay-cation!!
