Sentosa was so much fun!

Since my mom has gotten here, we've been busy taking her to the sights and our favorite spots on the island. We even got some dinner from Botak Jones last night for her to try and the review was good! Today, we decided to go to Sentosa Island since the weather was nice and not too hot. We left from Vivo City and took the tram, which is a five minute ride over the water.

When we got there, my mom immediately fell in love with the beach, so we made that our first stop. Juliana was so happy to play in the sand and water...we weren't prepared for the beach, but fortunately had a change of clothes since she was covered in sand!!

After the beach, we headed to the Underwater World oceanarium. It's home to more than 2,500 fish from over 250 different species, including tanks where you can touch certain types of fish. The picture to the right is a sting ray tank where Jacob, Juliana and my mom decided do do some 'petting.' They also have an acrylic tunnel, 83 meters long, where you can see all of the different types of fish swimming all around you. Juliana particularly enjoyed being able to look at all of the fish from different angles and kept trying to touch them!! She even interacted with some divers that were in the tank. As you can see below, she was ecstatic...not only does she love water, but she loves all of the creatures that live in it.
Part of the Underwater World is being able to see the pink dolphins at the lagoon, so that was our next destination. We were all amazed at how pink their undersides were! Juliana was exhausted by this point, but she did enjoy the atmosphere and clapped along with the crowd as the dolphins performed all of their tricks.

This picture below was not taken by me, but I had to show you all their beautfiul color!

Overall, it was a wonderful day and I can't wait to return to Sentosa. We only saw a small part of the island and there are many more attractions, such as the butterfly park, Merlion park, and the luge. And...if I can get my brother out here, we can go diving with the sharks at Underwater World (got that Jus??).

At the end of the day, we are exhausted, but Jacob and I are grateful to be given this opportunity (once again). Being able to take in experiences like this, with our daughter is a blessing. I'm happy to be able to share a part of it with my mother and look forward to more visitors while we are living here (hint hint!!).
