We could get used to this...

It's July 1, one day before cchow's birthday!  We wanted to make sure we celebrated in style.  We met our uncle at the hotel to check us in to our suite.

the lobby of the hotel is really big...

after we checked in to the hotel, we went up to the rooftop for "high tea" with our relatives.  

This is a view from the sea side of the hotel where they are building a new crazy cool botanic garden complex where there will be lots to do.  you can see the night golf course in the top left corner of this picture too.

For dinner, we went to this modern asian/western fusion restaurant called Ku De Ta. We ordered a bottle of cabernet in honor of DAD who is at home right now.  HI DAD!  The meal came in courses and that we shared together.
