Happy Bithday to Kevin

As the weekend finally came, it was time for us to start exploring the city and what better way to explore than with a birthday boy and one handsome little fellow?!We started the the day with a birthday brunch for Kevin. Harper was on his best behavior and even slept a bit while we were eating. He really does enjoy getting out and about. Then we hightailed it over to the drink stand in the mall so Kevin could get some bubble tea..he really likes it, but I was not impressed...After Harper's nap we decided to take in some of the city sights by strolling along Marina Bay, and boy were they great...we spent most of our afternoon here walking around and taking it all in...I sure do love spending time with my boys! After we walked around and worked up an appetite we decided on a Dim Sum restaurant to celebrate Kevin's birthday and it did not disappoint! The food was great and we were lucky our little trooper behaved long enough for us to finish our dinner. He did protest a little at the end, but who can blame him, I would of wanted some food too! :)

Harper and daddy celebrating his 33rd! I think that Harper looks more interested in the cake than daddy! :) 

On our drive to Marina Bay. The city is overed in skyscrapers, but the tress and landscaping make it so beautiful here. Did I mention they drive on the opposite side of the street?! YIKES! Kevin is doing a great job driving, but I get so scared when I see cars coming in the "wrong" direction.

We arrived at Marina Bay to this backdrop and it is just beautiful. This is where they had National Day celebrations , so many people were not here because they had just been two days earlier. This was nice for us because there were no crowds. While Singapore does not have much to do in the sense of "tourist attractions" many people come to the city for high end shopping and fancy restaurants.We will just say there is definitely no shortage of shopping or eating around these parts! The rest of the pictures are from our walk along the bay and highlight some of the amazing architecture seen throughout the city. Marina Bay Sands Hotel is amazing as you can see, and we hope to plan a stay there before we leave... it has a huge mall attached to it and a huge infinity style pool on top of the hotel that's the biggest one in the world! The views are supposed to be amazing, but you can only view if you are a guest of the hotel or buy a ticket to go up there ( weird, but many do). There is also a casino in the hotel where you can try your luck on gambling. Singapore residents are discouraged to gamble, so they make them pay a $100 fee to enter, all other visitors to the country are free. All in all it is one pretty neat resort! We missed the Warhol exhibit located in the hotel, but hope to get back to see it. The museum is located in the big ball looking thing. The double helix bridge was also a sight for the eyes! We had a great time enjoying Kevin's birthday and even recieved wishes from the apartment via a birthday cake! It was a nice thought and Kevin and I laughed at how formal the greeting was. We look forward to next weekend so that we can get around the city a little more together! Harper and I have our sights set on the botanical gardens this week, but we shall see what comes our way.....Hope you enjoy the pictures! 

Strolling  along the Marina, it was a little warm, but if you look closely Harper has a fan to keep him nice an cool! He really likes it and tries to grab it often, thank goodness it's made out of foam. :)
