Our last day with Uncle Chris...

Wow... our last day... it was really last Sunday (a week ago today) but it already feels like last month... I guess life with a 2.5 year old just goes by to fast... we do miss Uncle Chris alot and we had a great time when he was here.

Last Sunday was our last day together... we had a slow morning with packing and getting ready for Chris to board a plane that night... we headed out a little before lunch to have a great hamburger in Singapore and then we headed to do some last minute shopping/picking some stuff up and then we headed to Quayside (Clark Quay and Boat Quay) to see the marina.

Welcome to Clark Quay Chris!

We then thought it would be a good idea to hop on board one of the Hippo Tour boats to see the rest of the marina... we got some good shots and this was my first tour with them so it was nice to see somethings for the first time.

A famous statue of some local kids jumping into the water.... this used to be allowed but not anymore. They made this statue to remember the good ol days.

The first casino... a view from the marina.... wow...

The Singapore mascot... the Merlion.

Clark Quay.

The building on the right is the tallest building in Singapore... 82 floors (I think I remember) they are not allowed to build any taller than this in Singapore bc of how close everything is to the airport.

After our tour... we were both hot and sweaty (and I forgot to tell you we are trucking around both of Chris' luggage's')... so we decided to pop into Brewerks for a cold drink... Chris got the sampler...

Then with luggage's in tow we headed for our tour through Boat Quay for some famous Chili Crab. When you eat this you have to dress in a very large bib... from your neck to your knees...

oh so good... yum yum.

After dinner we headed to the ice bar across the street... the only place in Singapore where you want to wear a coat... it was -4 degrees Celsius. BUUURRRRR

Oh so cold... my feet were freezing after we finished our drink... but this is where goodbye happened... I just hate goodbyes...

I put Chris in a Mercedes cab (he left in style) and we said goodbye... there he goes... come back soon.

Thanks so much for coming to see us... I wish you could have spent more time with Blake but selfishly I enjoyed having you all to myself.. we had a blast and can't wait to see you again... maybe in Australia... HE HE HE

Anybody want some chilli crab?

Our Last Days with Julie!

Julie is gone... and we miss her already... She left on Saturday and yes I am little slow in getting this blog up but I wanted to make sure I got everything of her trip blogged first... :-)

Here are Julies last couple of days with us.
On Thursday night Blake wanted to take Julie to the place where he lived in 2003 and for her to eat the great steak across the street (another place he would of called home in 2003... the restaurant) at Hoo Ha's Cafe. They do serve a really good steak but it is a hole in the wall.

Here is Pierce enjoying his steak (chicken and tomatoes).

Julie was missed from home.... Her man sent her flowers... and Pierce wanted to smell them.



The last night we wanted to take Julie to Clark Que and Boat Que (sort of like the river at San Antonio)... on our way to get some appetizers at Clark Que I had to get a picture of them sitting at the CLINIC Bar... so funny. You can either sit in wheel chairs or behind hospital sheet dividers and drink from an ivy.

We had to take Julie for her last night in Singapore to Boat Que to try the famous Chili Crab.

Of course Blake was not up for the crab so he got chili beef.



Well here is our crab... we split this monstrous thing... I think I ate 75% and Julie 25%.

Dig in and enjoy!

That is a big pierce of meat.

Here is Jimmy the owner... he is famous around these parts and even has commercials (or at least he told us so).

Here is a pic of Boat Que from the opposite side... all the colorful lights are different restaurants that line the river.


We miss you Julie! (This picture was before bed time and Pierce was not feeling well...)
