Families on Board - Bond with the Best

Living in Chennai has its own pros and cons and the biggest advantage for us would definitely have to be the beach. Sherry and I can spend our entire day, every day, by the beach and we do. That's cause we live on the beach. So when Intercontinental Chennai invited us for a weekend getaway at their beach resort, we didn't think much of it. It felt like it would be just another beach day for us.
It was for the launch of their "Families on Board" program and only once we were there did we realize how wrong we were! It was anything but just a beach resort and boy, did we have fun!

I along with 3 other stunning mums had the priviledge of being a part of the Pilot run of this program. It all started with the most pleasant check-in to our plush luxurious rooms, post which we were escorted to their spa, Amartam by Escenza. The whole place looked surreal with their all white interiors. On one corner was the huge, amazing kid friendly spread of healthy yet tasty snacks which Sherry couldn't help dig into. Soon aferwards, we were taken in for our spa session and the best part, they had a bubble berry bath setup for Sherry in the same room! Could a mom ask for anything more.

Soon afterwards, we were taken to their private beach for a camping experience where we mums had fun setting up our own tents with the help of our tiny assistants. It sure was a great bonding experience. We also got to watch a movie under the stars, and not just any movie, it was Sherry's favourite Frozen! What a beautiful evening!

Just when we thought the day couldn't get any better, we were treated to the most delicious and scrumptious chinese dinner ever. What delighted me the most was seeing Sherry ask for a second helping, which I am sure is a rare sight for most mothers and is something I am so grateful for.
The night swiftly passed by, filled with fun, food and friends. We even witnessed the "blood moon" on a clear blue sky from the beautiful sky bridges in the property. Quite a brilliant end to our day!

Next morning, my husband joining us for a generous breakfast spread post which we spent some amazing quality time in the pool together. It had so many beautiful spots that I wished I had gone there for a week long shoot instead (blogger problems). Finally, after a very fulfilling stay and some good bonding with my little star, we left the place with the promise to return and experience this program as a complete family once it launched formally. It was one of my best experiences in Chennai and I am grateful to Intercontinental for having come up with such a unique program which encourages family bonding like never before.
