Days... where are they going?

Day 5 was Father's Day... we blinked and it was gone... Day 6 was Monday and we were so busy none of us took any pics (out of three cameras).

Day 7 (today) we found ourselves with a long day without Pierce, since he was a school field trip looking at vegetables and butterflies. We spent our whole morning and afternoon on Orchard Rd. (the main shopping street of Singapore).

Grandma needed her hair done... so after a great head massage and a lovely lady creating this masterpiece... Great Mama was ready for the day.


We did alot of walking and shopping and can you believe the only thing we bought was a door mat (for my front door which is really cute BTW) and food. We ate some local delights at an indoor food court called Food Republic and then we headed to the basement of Takasihmaya for some ice cream and Laska.

Moochi Ice cream is my favorite, it is from Japan and they take ice cream and wrap glutenous rice around it... pure heaven... and I had 3 balls of ice cream.. keep going back for more... you have to try it.

We got to watch some other Japanese delights being created... here is some pork on a stick...not sure if you can tell here but all the guy has to do is place the stick with meat on the clip and the machine does the rest... it moves along and cooks and then it is dipped in a sauce and baked some more.... what a machine.

After alot of walking and eating... Great Mama headed back to Grandad's hotel on Orchard to put her feet up and take a rest... and mom and I....

Headed to the pool on the top floor... I finally got some time to get some sun...
We are all resting now and waiting for Pierce to wake up... we are keeping tonight low key at the condo... but stay tuned for tomorrow's adventure on Arab Street.
