Craig & I saw an ad for a cool looking furniture store last weekend so I looked it up and it turns out the company owns a couple of furniture stores and restaurants. I noticed that one of the restaurants was going to have a balloon artist today (and the ballon sculptures (?) looked really cool) so we thought we'd go to lunch there and then to East Coast Park after that. We never found the restaurant! But we ended up at this Indian restaurant that Sarah cannot stop raving about so it worked out well in my book!
After lunch we did find East Coast Park. We saw several people in four-person bikes and though that that was something our group could do (it looked like there were even extra kid-seats in the front, so we thought we could fit all five of us). It turns out the lot we parked in was really far away from the bike rental place so we didn't make that happen. We did have fun playing on the beach a bit (did not bring our suits though!), playing in the sand, and finding teeny tiny sea shells. We walked for a bit and enjoyed the cool sea breaze and the ships in the harbor. We also got to see planes landing and taking off at the airport so it was quite the park! We plan to go back with swim suits and another time to rent the bikes. Should be fun!
We wanted to go to Gardens by the Bay to hear carolers tonight, but decided we should do it tomorrow and spend more time at Gardens by the Bay instead of trying to do too much in one day. We're hoping to see lots of touristy sights over the next three weeks!
