A Perfect Afternoon & Evening

Early Sunday afternoon, I asked Noah what he wanted to do for the rest of the day. Unsurprisingly, he answered that he wanted to take the little trains (aka the sentosa monorail trains). So after his snack we headed out to Sentosa island. We took a little train down to the waterfront station (sadly it was not the blue but the purple train but that was ok) and walked down to the beach. Here is Noah at the foot of the Merlion with the big dragonflies. 

 It is a beautiful walk - with a Rodin thinker sculpture and beautiful flowers and fountains (including a long Gaudi-like colorful fountain). We walked hand-in-hand happily chatting together. 

When we got to the beach level, it started drizzling so I suggested we go see the flying people (there is a wind tunnel flying ride and you can watch the people "fly"). During the tropical downpour we were happily inside watching people "fly" around and discussing wind power. Noah sat there with me for at least 30mn first waiting for the flying people and then watching and commenting clearly interested in this whole process.

By the time we were ready to head out, it had stopped raining and after much train viewing, we took the red train back to the waterfront station and walked back along the Sentosa boardwalk toward the city. Here is Noah on the boardwalk with what used to be his poodle balloon but became a snake.

Along the boardwalk, we stopped at the Wine Company for dinner: a cheese platter, some grilled vegetables and some dumplings (and wine for me). The food was very pleasant and the company was amazing. Noah was such a pleasure to be with. He happily looked at the scenery and chatted away with me. He tried all the cheeses (and even liked the blue cheese) and all the veggies (including the celery sticks) and was just a great little boy.

The view was gorgeous. We watched the sun slowly set over Sentosa.

And counted the stars as they started appearing.

After a long, beautiful and relaxing dinner, we went to the monorail viewing area to watch a few more trains and then to the Vivo City playground for a few passes down the slide. And after one last train viewing, we headed home. What a perfect afternoon and evening with Noah.
