Little India and Clarke Quay

Today, we wanted to go to the Jurong Bird Park. However, we got a slow start getting out of the house, so we decided to save the bird park for a day when we could go early in the morning. The bird park, like the zoo, is farther away from the city center.
Steven hadn't made it to Little India yet, so we took the train to the Dhoby Ghaut stop and walked to Little India from there. Steven had heard about a department store called Mustafa, and we wanted to see if there were any cheap toys there for Brandon. Mustafa is open 24 hours a day, and it reminded me a little of a flee market.
Since Brandon fell asleep in the stroller, we decided to take the train to Clarke Quay for lunch. We found a restaurant/microbrewery called Brewerkz, and we had some food there. We had been outside for so long, we decided to eat lunch inside. It was tempting to sit outside along the river, but it was really hot and humid.
Since we were already at Clarke Quay, we walked over to Liang Court so Brandon could play at Royce Gym. This time, Daddy spent the hour at the gym with Brandon. So nice for Mommy to have a little break! I walked down to the grocery to get a few items, and then I grabbed a cappucino. Really, really nice hour!
We were so exhausted by the time we came home. But, after being home for a short bit, Brandon was standing at the door wanting to go "bye bye". It is so nice having a pool here! We took Brandon down to the pool for an hour before bed. There are usually other people down at the pool, and Brandon loves people!
Very busy day, but what a great family day!
