When we left Bali we luckily weren’t faced with the usual leaving vacation blues because the Jordans flew back to Manila with us! We did have Thursday blues when we woke up and the Jordans weren’t here anymore which resulted in this. Das if of course Aunt Daf, as she forever will be now known 🙂
We all flew back Saturday morning and had the Jordans with us until Thursday. We had an amazing week. Everything just fell into place perfectly and the Jordans had a great visit.
There was a lot of this:
Some of this:
And a decent amount of this:
Oh yeah and this:
After hours when Adam was sleeping we had a decent amount of this:
We checked out the new casino in Manila – Solaire. It was a big hit, so big in fact the boys went back three days later. Except for the fact that you can smoke inside this casino is pretty great. It’s clean and organized and has a seven dollar crap table which according to MJ is great. So we will be bringing anyone who wants here when they come visit us in Manila.
No photos allowed but I snuck this one in (don’t tell anyone)
We had a yummy dinner so we could play craps on a full belly.
And when Randy was at work some of this:
Yummy soup dumplings after a full day of shopping at the Womans Bazaar (the woman’s bazaar is only once a month and the Jordans were lucky enough to be in town that one day). We picked up Adam’s new tent at the bazaar (which has been a huge success) and some trinkets for the Jordan’s to take home and then headed to Mall of Asia for some yummy soup dumplings.
Here are the Jordan’s top three for Manila. This of course is taking Adam and us out of the ranking 🙂 And oh yeah we went to the spa while the Jordans were in town.
Mj’s top three:
1) Spa
2) Casino
3) The last place we went to dinner- Stella
Here are the Jordans at Stella
Here are Daf’s top three-
1. Seeing what a great and comfortable apartment you guys have: pool downstairs, washer dryer in the apartment (all the things New Yorkers dream of).
2. Spa
3. Markets (I am Gretchen’s daughter/your sister)
We miss you Aunt Das and Uncle Das 🙂 We are counting the days until we see you again!

This makes me so sad we're not back in Manila playing with Adam in his tent!
