We Are Hanson: November 2012

It's been a busy couple of months for us here in the Hanson household. In mid-September, we left on a month-long trip to Malaysia and Thailand. We left on our journey and flew to Chicago and then to Hong Kong, before landing in Kuala Lumpur, 30 hours later. Our flights back took us through Tokyo and Dallas. Sophie and Jack did very well on the plane and I think it's now safe to call them seasoned world travelers. They both enjoyed watching movies on the plane, exploring children's play areas at the airports, eating plane food and playing with the giveaway toys from the airlines (the international airlines, of course). We checked in our two big bags and two car seats and hoped for the best. Luckily, everything made it there and back.

In Kuala Lumpur, the kids spent time with my parents, sister and brother (who came to visit for a few days from Perth, Australia). They got to meet some members of my extended family, including their other great grandma. We visited many tourist attractions in KL including the Aquaria KLCC Aquarium, Petrosains Science Museum, KLCC/Petronas Twin Towers area, the Bird Park and more.

At the end of September, we took a vacation from our vacation and flew to Phuket, Thailand for my friend Gwen's wedding. We stayed at the very fun Sunwing Kamala resort and the wedding was held at the gorgeous Paresa resort, cliff side, at sunset. Sophie and Jack were both in the wedding and enjoyed the experience. The wedding was beautiful. Congratulations to Gwen & Len! In Phuket, the kids enjoyed their time at the pool and the adults enjoyed the beach-side coconut oil massages.
