The tail end of our Spring Break found us driving away to Kuantan, on the east coast of Malaysia. A short 3 hours from Kuala Lumpur lies a beautiful stretch of beach where the South China Sea brushes against the sands of Malaysia. In there somewhere Natalia, Laurence, Irini, Sammy and Erika managed to shove their bodies into the car and reach the Swiss Garden Resort and Spa.
Irini took things in stride, now becoming quite acquainted with this in-the-car, out-of-the-car routine with lunches on the fly, different smells, temperatures, and weather. She adjusted perfectly to the new sea-side location and enjoyed her first entry into water...
From dawning her first wet suit (made for 1 year olds) to being pushed around the sand on her new (though used) red roadster stroller, she was "hip" on the beach. As mom and dad gushed with pride and excitement, Irini just watched as the water wrapped around her feet and climbed up her body. The coolness was certainly a big hit, however, as she seemed quite content to be water-bound.
Sammy and Erika also seemed to enjoy the place, from a visit to the Spa to a walk on the beach. The food was perfect and much time was spent in the different restaurants in the hotel and around the area playing yatzi and our dice game. The youth won out time and time again as Erika found her niche with the dice game and Sammy won nearly every yatzi game. Natalia and Laurence were content to just get away with one win each after three days of thrilling competition.
Life was good for three days. Now we're back in KL to the regular routine. Life is still good, but without the ocean to keep us company.
Here's a short video of Irini meeting the South China Sea...
