Oh wait. There's more!

You know the part where I said the last post was my final one from Cambodia? I may have lied...there are a few others pictures I want to share. 


Our frequent fliers...

Siddharta, the boutique hotel we stayed at, served a yummy, local lemongrass tea upon check in. We were excited to hit the pool! And yes, the jersey went to Cambodia. 
The pool from our room. The rooms had 3 beds (Which meant we didn't have to sleep with the boys!) and a great outdoor living space for eating and reading.  
Such great food at the hotel! The BEST spring rolls I've ever had. Luke getting "local" with his fried rice and french fries. Always gotta have a little Americana! :)  

Tuk Tuk ride to dinner! 

People and motorbikes everywhere, but nothing like the traffic in Vietnam!
Several people told us to try the Mexican restaurant in town. It was delicious and so cheap. Adam and I had drinks, we all had a full dinner, and an order of chips and salsa. Grand total = $27! 
Lovin' life
Out for a little bargain shopping after dinner. As you can see, Drew got himself a NEW backpack. We "convinced" him it was time to let  the one with wheels go.  
And we found their shirts!
Pub Street at night...
Drew decided that since he got a new backpack, another little boy would probably like his old one.  They are off to find a new owner for it. 
Drew found a little boy who was walking down the street with his mom. They both seemed very, very happy and grateful for it. It definitely brought a smile to our faces! 
It wouldn't be a Mitchell family vacation if someone didn't get sick! Drew woke up on day 3 with a fever.  
On our final night, Adam and Luke met some friends from SAIS for dinner. They were just starting their vacation in Siem Reap. Being that Drew was sick, I stayed at the hotel with him and saw it as a great opportunity to order room service one final time. :)
Can't say enough about the food and friendliness of the staff at Siddharta! 
On our way home, feeling a bit better and managing to play. Our flight was short and sweet - just 2 hours.  
A beautiful flight home - was like this the entire way. My kind of  flying! 

And NOW, I am done! We had an unforgettable vacation and will always hold a special place in our hearts for Cambodia. With it's kind people and incredible history, it'd be a hard place to forget.

We can't WAIT for our 3 week Christmas vacation. But first, we welcome the Hevland's for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to seeing their faces again!
