Farrah invited us to join her in Bali with all the kids while Brian was traveling. Naturally, we were excited to go on a long weekend when the kids all had a day off school and Matt will never say no to surfing! As usual, first stop was Don Juan's.
For some added fun, Alice and her daughter Georgia joined us and Kayla came solo. It was Kayla's first time to Don Juan's and she's now a fan for life.
Then we just had an entire weekend to relax, play, surf, and spa! We stayed at the Padma Legian this time because they were running a great deal and it's been highly recommended. The kids gave the slides 5 out of 5 stars.
The pools were really beautiful. Unfortunately, the only pool with an ocean view was closed. That was my biggest complaint about the resort - it's right on the beach but that's the only place with a beach view. Seemed really odd.
We did of course enjoy the beach because it was just steps away, but I love to see it and hear it all day as well.
The skies cleared after the rain and Mt. Agung came out to greet us.
The kids had a ton of fun together. Ben and Alex had their own room and it quickly became the clubhouse for everyone to hang around in together. Tate slept with them and Macy and Georgia managed to talk their moms into switching rooms so they could have a sleepover. The best part? The entire group was tired and happy to be in bed by 9pm! Adults included!
Saturday morning was really gorgeous and we all enjoyed the pools and Matt got to play golf. As the only guy there, he was pretty free to go and play wherever he wanted!
Kayla has been to the Padma at least 10 times and clearly the staff remembered her! They were so excited to have her back.
We did corral the kids occasionally for some food but they were a pretty self-entertaining group. It was a great resort for them to run off and play.
As I had my morning coffee on the porch, I noticed that most everyone was wearing their hotel slippers to breakfast. I finally tried it and I have to say, it's pretty comfy. I went full out on the comfort at the pool, much to Farrah's chagrin.
The big pool was really beautiful as well.
Matt took all the kids surfing at the nearby break and everyone had a fun time, even Alex who absolutely didn't want to go but ended up catching the most waves!
The second evening, the kids all stayed and ate at the resort and several us of went next door for dinner. We stopped for some cool pictures on the way back.
Sunday morning was pretty relaxed and we spent some time playing at the beach. We all had flights at different times so we slowly said goodbye as each group left.
Thanks for a wonderful weekend! And kudos to Matt for being so outnumbered all weekend and having so much fun.
Never get tired of seeing the volcanoes as we leave! See you again, Bali!
