Shall we go for a drive?

Oh hello friends!  
Do you like my large wooden throne??  
The large cow head behind me??

 When I was sitting in this chair, this was my view. 

 Unreal, right!!!!

This morning we got picked up and headed out of RPJ and even further away from the riff raff of Bangkok. 
Nine of us piled into a van on a misty Sunday morning and headed off to see some sights.

Our 1st stop, a little place called the Dairy Barn.  It was intended to be a bathroom break that ended with ice cream and monkey cups. Strawberry and Honey Raisin frozen yogurt was my pick. 

After the pit stop we stopped at this house. I am still not sure why....I guess to show us we could rent it out for a weekend if we wanted? It was pretty sweet.  I envisioned many things happening here. 1st I thought the Dietsch family AKA Fun Bunch could all fit in for a New Years Party.  I also thought girls weekend with cases of wine, books, and good snacks would also be a good way to fill up the space in this house and pool!


ONE of the dining rooms. It is screaming
 "Play board games around me!!" 
"I want Grandma Mary's spaghetti sauce wiped off me!!"
"Girls, careful don't let your wine or mimosa glasses put rings on me!!!


!!!GAME ROOM!!!
Looks at those porch swings. If they were not so big I would try to bring one home with me. 
Beautiful.


Musical Instruments 
Fancy Drums


The house even came with pets! Birds!! I only took a click of one bird, the other ones looked a tad bit on the evil side.


After day dreaming from my wooden chair, overlooking the pool with a view and running around the house exploring the rooms I was hungry!  We piled back in the van and stopped at a local spot for a Thai lunch.
  
After lunch we headed to the elephant conservation center.  We learned many things about what the conservation center does with elephants and how they get local children as well as some city kids involved with the animals.  Really interesting stuff. Tons of pictures, lots of stories. If we had more time, like a whole weekend, we would have spent the night and gone up into the forest and been able to look for wild elephant families in the middle of the night! How cool would that have been! 

It was finally time to play....


After elephant playtime we took the scenic route home through the national park.  We ran into deer, a monkey, and some stellar views.  

Another great Sunday!
Great company, conversations and activities!

This link will take you to the elephant conservation website where they put up some picture of the group!
