Ok, we had wanted to go for the Navy Open house in the morning, having left our house at about 9:30am, went for a full breakfast near our place before heading to the Expo. As we were not allowed to drive over, they had provided a free shuttle bus service at the Expo. And by the time we reach the Expo, it was close to 11am! And guess what? We were already stuck at the 2nd junction before the actual carpark!! And my dear hubby, who is super inpatient, was really frustrated with the jam that only after 5mins being stuck there, he had decided to abort the mission!! And to be able to make a U turn at the junction in front, we had to be stucked for another 30mins before we had U turn!
Since we can't go to the Opem house, we decided to bring the kids to the museums! And I learnt about the free entrance to all our museums, off we go!! And they were having some activities for the children, but with our unplanned trip, we just popped by to the nearby museum along that way!!
The first museum was the Singapore Philatetic Museum, my childhood favorite hobby, stamps collecting!! It was really an eye opener trip for the kids!! WL bought each of them a stamp album to kick start this hobby!! And I also let them post out a post card each so they understand how a letter/postcard gets delivered to our mail box!
Next museum was the Perankan Museum! The kids had fun finding the stamp station to get a embossed print onto the sheet given out at the reception counter!
And but the time we are done with the museum visits, it was close to 3pm! We had intended to pop by the Killiney for some toasts and light lunch, but the getting a car park lot is a killer around that area! So we had to abort this idea again! And after making a few turns around orchard road, we decided to pop by the nearby botanic gardens! Again, another mistake of WL to have missed the car park entrance to the food court, we went to the next car park! And since the kids were pretty hungry, we had to eat at the nearest place, the Casa Verde!
And we were really happy with the food and the servings!! Everything we ordered were really nice! Haha... Or were we really hungry? Haha...
This was what I ordered, the club sandwich and a watermelon juice!!
The kids had a mix platter each, which were what they liked!!
And for WL, he had a deluxe or mega breakfast and a iced coffee!
After our meals, we went around the gardens, a nice park really! But no performance this weekend, the next performance will be on 1 June! And to end our day, we decided to pop by the Island Creamery for a nice cold ice cream!
