Ritz-Carlton Staycation! - Day 3 (and 4)

Continued from Day 2 Staycation@Ritz-Carlton~

Woke up to another great morning, greeted by the warm scenery of Singapore's morning. We spent most of the time lazing around in the morning and had a simple breakfast (unlike the day before where we had a splendid buffet breakfast...haha)

One of the things that we haven't do since coming to Ritz was to visit the swimming pool, so we prepared the stuffs. Mummy Chan recently chanced upon a "Blow Up Thomas & Friends Hammer" while on one of our little shopping trips and immediately we thought would be fun for Renzo to wield while in a pool. So we brought it along during this staycation and even brought along the separately purchased foot pump that we bought from Kiddy Palace. Renzo unhesitatingly began working on the pumping and before long, was holding on to his prized possession in his chubby hands.

Half expecting the pool to be empty at this time of the day, the pool was surprisingly populated, though not to the extend of having to jostle for elbow room, but one couldn't complete a lap swim without having to stop somewhere in between and wait for those who swam the width of the pool. Not too much an issue for me as I was the primarily to soak myself and to see what mischief Renzo was up to with a hammer in hand. So into the waters I went, with Renzo test-dipping his toes into the water for temperature checks, while mummy comfortably nestled herself into one of the sundeck chairs and keeping herself dry.

After Renzo got used to the water, he immediately started splashing and rolling around the pool's edge and when I throw the hammer at him, hell broke loose. Renzo became a miniaturized Thor and began his crazy hammering. Everything in sight (except passersby, fortunately) was given a series of hammering. From a leaf, to the markings on the edge of the pool, to Daddy Chan, you name it, he smacks it. He even attempted to throw the hammer at me from a distance but fell short (you need more training kid.)

When we got tired, we retired back to the room and slacked the day away. Dinner time came and we couldn't resist the temptation of going back to the Greenhouse@Ritz Carlton again for the wonderful buffet spread. And so we did. And as expected, the decision didn't fail us. A wonderful dinner made the evening just that much more wonderful. So we ended the day knowing that tomorrow we will be checking out. So we did our final checks and headed to bed early because Renzo still has school tomorrow~

The last day of our staycation was planned as such that we would wake up early, take a cab back home to pick up Renzo's school bag, his beddings for school and to unload some of the laundry and stuff. After we deposited Renzo at the school, we then proceeded to slowly make our way back to the hotel to check out. But not before we enjoy a morning Starbucks time. While the rest of the population were hustling and bustling to get to work, we walked anti-directionally to a Starbucks outlet at Marina Square, picked out a couple of magazines off their racks and basically chilled the rest of the morning away sipping coffee and having mindless chit-chats.

All is well and we would most definitely be heading to Ritz Carlton again for another lovely staycation in the near future~!
