Thailand & Out

We have been home a week and a half now so we should probably close out our vacation to Thailand. On our last post, I documented a pleasant trip the emergency room. I am a pleased to say everything worked out fine. Anyway, to close out Thailand we visited the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (http://www.bangkok.com/attraction-palace/grand-palace.html). This is the must see site in Bangkok and we saw it. The palace was built in the 1700s and the Buddha dates back to the 14th Century. The whole place was very ornate and lavishly decorated.
Even though it was October, the temperature was very hot. On top of this, one can not wear shorts or pants above the knees or open shoulders when visiting this place. They are very strict in that regard and people were selling "over pants" just outside the gate to get in as they were turning people back who were wearing shorts. So until next time... it is almost Halloween and I'm leaving you with a picture of the twins. You can see the front tooth that Ava is missing if you look very closely at her smile...
