Because we stayed with family the entire trip, Husband suggested we splurge for the last two days of our trip and stay at this place:

 

The Marina Bay Sands Hotel. It was INSANE!

We got back from Telunas around noon and were able to check in early. CHECK THIS OUT:

 

 

 

And the view out those windows??

 Whaaaaaaaaat?

But most spectacular of all was that pool.

 

We spent the afternoon up there before meeting Aunt and Uncle for dinner. We wanted to take them out as a thank-you, and they chose Din Tai Fung. I am so glad they did because it tied with prata for my favorite food!

The dumplings were AMAZING!

 

We then went outside to watch the light show:

 

And ended the evening with some frozen yogurt.

 

These two people are so incredible. I have always thought this, but spending time with them in a trip like this brought it to light like nothing else could. What a special experience this has been!

Our last full day began with sleeping in and then walking to the Gardens by the Bay. They were BEAUTIFUL!

 

  

 

 

I then summoned all my courage and mounted this, the Singapore Flyer:

 

Whaaaaaat? It was both terrifying and awesome.

 

And that's us, eye-level with the hotel. 

We returned to the bay mall for lunch. I talked Husband into Din Tai Fung again because ohmygoshthosedumplings.

And, predictably, we spend the afternooon at the pool. Because, well, why wouldn't you??

 

For our last evening in Singapore, my wonderful and romantic husband suggested a dress-up date. I did my hair and my make up (for maybe the third time the whole trip) and wore a fancy dress. He wore slacks and a collared-shirt and we made reservations for Italian.

 

 

After dinner, we took a nighttime stroll though the gardens (and check out that view of the hotel!) 

 

 

And headed back, planning to wake early and head up to the pool in time to watch the sunrise before cleaning up and heading home.
