It was raining as we checked in. The view from our room...

A pillow fight was our first activity...

We had opted an all meals package. We headed for the lunch. Rohan looked tired after the pillow fight...

Nishant was cheerful...

Kids moved to the Play house where they had electronic gaming console...
...
Play Station...

Rohan attended his online class...

I took a time lapse video of the cloudy sunrise...
...
It was nice to watch the sunrise. Rohan enjoyed watching the birds flying in flocks...
...
Saw a wedge of Ibises. Yes, a group of ibises is called a wedge, probably due to the wedge like shape they form in flight…
...
Rohan likes the bubble bath. He will lie in the tub for long and loves to show his wrinkled fingers...

Some workout at the gym...

Breakfast time...

After breakfast we played pool...

Several black kites made the sky more dramatic...

A black kite came near to our 12th floor room...

Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun family staycation. The hotel sounds great, with lots of amenities. The views are great, lovely sunrise and sunset. Love seeing the flock of Ibis and the Black Kite. You have a beautiful family. Wonderful photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend! PS, thanks for the visit and comment.
Lots of good reasons for a staycation.
ReplyDeleteIt appears that you and your handsome family had a nice outing. It is always good to get away from the mundane. What luck to have a black kite so close. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteA very good idea when the weather is hopeless. You go away, but plan to stay indoors. Nice sunsets, though.
ReplyDeletePerfect trip. And such a very handsome family!! Your wife sitting on the window ledge is magazine perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us this week!
DeleteLovely photos of your family staycation. Looks like you had a grand time. Being with family is the best! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family get together you had. Seems like you all found lots to do indoors without worrying about the rain. And yes , a border will always find a bird or two wherever they are in the world.
ReplyDelete...it nice to see your lovely family! It chilly and raining here today, a good day to stay inside.
ReplyDeleteWonderful hotel, wonderful family. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! The Ibises in flight are really beautiful and I love seeing photos of your family! I raised 4 sons and know how much fun having boys can be! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice to see your family. Your wife looks a sweet person.
ReplyDeleteLove the kite shots.
Happy Sunday!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Sometimes all we need is a change, not so much distance and new vistas. Your family is lovely. I love that photo of your wife with the boys, one above and one below her.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of your lovely family! Nice skies too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fun and relaxing staycation in a hotel. Lots of activities to keep occupied and great time of bonding with one another. Great view from your hotel room.

ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have family time like this and to be together. Life needs changes of space and place at times!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up for #LifeThisWeek. Next week I will publish the second half of the Women of Courage Wrap but the optional prompt is "X Marks the Spot". Great to have your blog as part of the community here this week. Denyse.
Wonderful to just relax, enjoy family time, and have someone else to do the cooking and the cleaning!
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed the sunset photos
Such wonderful family pictures...& it's nice
ReplyDeleteyou managed birds. Manju is beautiful, Rohan & Nishant rival their papa's good looks.
I really like your blog :) Niszczarki profesjonalne greets.
ReplyDeleteApparently you enjoyed your break from everyday life. Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful! What a gorgeous family, too!
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your pics, and I feel really relaxed having viewed them!
ReplyDeleteLove the rain, chess and all your photos. Oh my goodness, your family is total delight. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteA great series of your staycation. You capture your wife so well, I love her in that grey dress! Didn't know you had two sons:) This makes you older than I thought you were, haha. That first, looks like an American breakfast. Ever tried a Swedidsh smargesboard? - I think you would like it. Even on your outing you see a bird! A great and fun post, Shiju! Emille
ReplyDeleteThe buffet spread was similar to Swedish smörgåsbord, a massive number of dishes from a variety of cuisines. I usually pick 5 or 6 of my favorites.
DeleteQuality time with the family is precious.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Great sky.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had wonderful holidays although it was close to your home ! Great photos !
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family Shiju! Thank you for sharing and taking me along your your short vacation.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family! Looks like a fun staycation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful happy family you have....the bird pics are amazing but I really loved them flying in the sunset....great shot for Skywatch
ReplyDeleteLovely portraits and beautiful surroundings. The night shot is superb, tto! (y) (y)
ReplyDeleteAnd the time lapse video is very nice, too.
So nice of you guys to take some time out like this. I'm sure is was a great break and you made some lovely memories as a family. Beautiful. :)
Gee!!! Good looks sure run in your family!!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the rain but it is pretty obvious that you all had fun and enjoyed bonding throughout the lovely staycation. I sure would not mind going for one like that too but no nice hotel resorts in our little small town.
What a beautiful family you are. It looks like you had a fabulous time together, and that's the most wonderful thing in the world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family. We used to take a summer trip up to Toronto Canada to see a theatre show and to take the ferry out to one of the islands… I hope to do that with my grandchildren when they are a bit older…. Michelle
ReplyDeleteHi Shiju, You have a wonderful family! Thanks for sharing all the photos!
