Mom and Dad's Day Out

T and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary while in Phuket. To honor the day, we booked a babysitter for the whole day and set off on an all-day snorkeling tour of Thailand's Phi Phi Island.
The tour made several stops but the best was Phi Phi Island, FANTASTIC snorkeling! The water was crystal-clear and full of amazing fish, sea urchins and coral. I've never seen anything like it. This stop inspired us to buy a nice under-water camera!
We also stopped for swim in a shallow area between a series of massively-tall islands. The guides encouraged us to jump right off front of the boat, and we did! Lots of fun, and absolutely gorgeous scenery.
Mind the jellies! We stopped at a developed island where a great, big buffet lunch awaited us. We ate and had plenty of time to sit in the shade on the beach and have a little nap, well I did anyway.
Our final stop was at a beautiful beach covered with loungers and beach umbrellas. We were served yummy ice cream sundaes and read our books for a couple of hours before it was time to head back to Phuket. Sooooo relaxing!
Phi Phi Island is a "must do" on your next visit to Phuket!
