One day I'm gonna have an ocean in my yard. . .

I'm back so soon this time. It's dark and gloomy over here and rain is gonna come any minute, nothing beats re-living the sunny, perfect days of our Mersing trip.

We stayed at Fishing Bay Resort, recommended by Harlyn. The place is not spanking new, but is very relaxing, very very relaxing that I dozed off after breakfast the first morning LOL. Then napped again in the afternoon and slept early that night. I blame the sea breeze. *grin*







At this point, I was already smitten. Beautiful weather, nothing more we could ask for.



You can see my crew wasted no time at all! *grin* The water was very sandy as you can see here, but I am happy with the sand and skies. We made do with the pool for swimming. Guess what were they doing?



Playing with baby crabs :D We put them into the plastic container for a while (evil, I know) then we let them go back to where they belong.



Yeah, make that a snap. Let them go, fast! LOL!



Baby girl. One picture I have to beg. Then they went swimming in the pool, and mommy had her one hour Thai massage.









Tell me, did you smile looking at the series of pictures of them? Tell me I'm not smiling only because those are my husband and my daughter. LOL. I love love love those pictures. They're blurry, but in all the imperfections, I see joy, I see love and I see my future. She was so delighted to be up there on his shoulders, that's her special place and no one else at the moment. If only you could hear her squeal. . . *sigh*



Sunset, from the jetty. Not the broken one you saw above, this is different. We walked a couple of metres out of the resort to get here. Breathtaking. I need to download pictures from Neha's camera soon.. she took some of me and everyone over here! :D



The pretty little lobby of the resort.



At night it gets so peaceful and quiet. Who am I kidding, the place is peaceful in the day, but it's just different in the night, maybe because the kids have gone to bed and all you can hear is some very muted adult chatters from your neighbors.
That's our front door, 20 steps from the beach.

Day 2.



Daddy scored some ball time with the youngsters. Nidhi wanted to be part of the action too!





My fishes!

Neha, in her own world. She is out of focus here. . (what the hell was I thinking?) but it's just lovely to me. Seeing my girl in the background, enjoying herself.









Can you see how happy she is? Totally! Someone very little tried the big pool, then changed her mind and went back to the baby pool.



This fish, totally in her element in the big pool. Why is she having a hairband on? I have no idea!



And again, she got a ride from Daddy. Now you know why she thinks that is her special place? LOL :)

Then I left them and went inside to start packing. The end of our 4 nights roadtrip. Maybe we'll be back, maybe we won't. We would like to explore more of Malaysia, so it all depends!

I'll be back soon with pictures from a gathering of pirates! LOL!

Beautiful pictures and you were not the only one smiling. There is something so beautiful about a child enjoying the moment with Daddy, I get those moments all the time with our girls and my husband. Keep dreaming of your ocean, you will get closer to it each day.
