HKG124: Super Sunday

sunday morning started off quiet, but we decided to get out for a quick adventure before getting home to get q down for a nap. we knew that since saturday was super busy and fun, it was imperative that the little man have his nap.

we headed over to wong nai chung resevoir park to have a little paddle boat adventure. it was splendid. the scenery was amazing, and the paddle boat ride was perfect...not too long and not too short. we all had a great time.

sunday afternoon, josh and i took the kids to kolwoon park on a good recommendation from our chicago friends. it was awesome. the park is amazing...it's very beautiful AND fun. there's also a pool area with three pools. we went to the park and aviary first, and then josh took the kids to the pools while i met up with a friend to do some shopping and sight seeing in the temple street markets.

we had a great time shopping until we were ready to drop. we jumped in a taxi to head to a restaurant called the flying pan...this is the place josh and i went to a week or so ago...american diner food. well, our cabby was CRABBY and was throwing a hissy fit the minute i told him where we wanted to go. then he drove around the long way, dumped us in the middle of SOHO, and told us to get out. he was a real charmer. to further complicate matters, the navigation app on my phone would give me the street addy for the restaurant only in chinese characters...so, after a fruitless search, we headed to the peak cafe instead. the peak cafe is pretty awesome itself, so we still had a great dinner.
