Vietnam

We spent the October break in HCMC and Mui Ne Vietnam and had a great trip!  The first morning we took a river cruise up the Saigon river to see the Cu Chi Tunnels, it was really incredible.  We got to crawl through some tunnels (that have been widen since the Vietnam War), shoot some crazy machine guns and eat some yummy Vietnamese food.  It was really interesting to see how innovative and creative the Vietcong were. 

 

 We then took a 4 hour drive northeast to a little beach town called Mui Ne.  Our hotel room was right on the beach and by 6:30 the next morning the kids were already in the ocean.  We rented scooters and explored the town finding some red sand dunes, rice fields and some local fisherman.  We spent the rest of the time at the beach, at the pool and eating great food.

The last day we headed back to Ho Chi Min City, checked out a local market and meet up with a friend from high school.  He took us to this amazing restaurant where Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt frequent.  We had a great time catching up and meeting his girlfriend.  We are already wanting to go back!
