florida summer vacation

We are back for our vacation in florida. We went to magic kingdom in disney world, and our hotel is near old town Kisseemee which is a carnival with lots of rides too that my son enjoyed so much. And we went to cocoa beach just an hour away from orlando. We went to cocoa beach pier , and daughter love the sand and chasing all the birds. I also met some filipinas and we talk to each other for a few minute because i need to watch my daughter and my hubby is watching our son because the beach got some waves and my son like to go and be on the waves.Disney world is really crowded for the 4th of july holiday. It took us forever to get inside a ride and show which my son loves so it's worth to stand for a long time. The parade and fireworks are great. It just getting out of the park take us too long because of too many people. We wen back to the hotel before midnight.

And we stayed to Nickelodeon hotel, my kids love nick character so i booked us for character breakfast to see them. It's a bit pricey for me because we are not breakfast family:)! 8:10 am is too early for us to eat:)! but that the only available time so i took it. It's food is ok! for the price i expect more:) but dora and diego was there. And the hotel got a really great water park with lots of slide. My son and i went and get to big slide a few time. It's lot of fun. And after seeing some attraction in Orlando we drove about 7 hours to my friends house near Pensacola and stayed in Pensacola beach. The hotel we stayed is beach front and next to a restaurant with great crabs. The beach has a white sand almost just like in boracay. It's great to see my friend and met her son too! It's a tiring but great vacation. I will post some pictures later. Have a great day !!

tagaytay

my whole family travel to tagaytay for a day trip. The weather is great when we're on the road, it took us nearly 3 hours arrived in calaruega church,a very solemn and beautiful church, it's very popular for wedding.

when we got there they are preparing and decorating the church for a wedding, the church ground is the best for wedding pictures they have great landscape with lots of plant and beautiful flowers. the church is inside a monastery so you will see many nuns and priest around. you will feel the serenity of the place even there are many tourist around.
after the church we left to have our lunch in Leslie's restaurant, it has great view of taal lake and and offer many filipino foods which many said is very good, of course it will depend on your taste buds:)the restaurant have a native feel, there are lots of people so there a bit waiting time to get out table for 14 people.well the food taste good nothing very special but with the cold weather the food get cold easily. overall a good restaurant with a great view of taal lake perfect for picture taking.

beach escapade

We spend a night in pearl farm beach resort in samal island Davao, it's 45 minutes boat ride from wharf. The beach is great, we have the samal house a cottage on stilts perched above the sea and we have a very beautiful sunset., their Maranao restaurant have good selection of food in the dinner buffets but of course a bit high price compare to the other resort. their even have group of singers serenade you while you eat. the resort have 2 good size swimming pool and a white sand beach. my hubby and kids together with my sisters went swimming in the beach while I have a great massage in Ylang Ylang Spa because I'm not feeling well and got light fever, the spa is great it really make me feel well, I'm the only one there even it's they only put one client or couple so you will have quite and have privacy throughout the session.. the resort have some filipino actors guest that weekends, they have this show just like survivors or somethings, that what the ladies in the spa are talking about:) anyways the resort have good facilities, but the rooms need renovation but i guess they already starting on the other rooms when we are there, a bit loud we're lucky we are not next to that room being renovate:) we have a great time in the resort but i feel it's overprice:) and i still like the beach in panglao island or even boracay which when we are there i feel very crowded but still have the best fine white beach. so here's a few pictures from our vacation.

vacation in pinas- davao city tour

after my daughters birthday we went to Davao, we took a city tours which include Philippine eagle center, jack ridge restaurant where we have lunch -food is good , and davao crocodile park which we like better:)it's like a zoo with many different animals aside from crocodile, my son like the lions and yellow snake... we spent a night in paradise park resort because it is so near the city by boat but the rooms are not that impressive the beds are small and hard we even got their expensive room:) of course we got what we paid for,it's a affordable resort compare to the city hotels. the beach is great tough the water is clean and sand is white,overall a good stay.

philippines vacation 2008

I just taught of having vacation in Philippines after my daughter baptism so we can celebrate her 1st birthday there and have vacation as the same time. i talked to my hubby and he agreed and told me he can have 3 weeks off for us to visit Philippines again, it been a long time we went back for our son's baptism last may 2004. We decided on a date and bought our tickets together with my relatives in California.. so it's my turn to get some info for planning a birthday party , it's great my family there help and they are the on who look and booked the venue for me. and i found some vendors online and just email them what i want and paid my reservation to their banks which is easy and faster. i have a dora theme party for my daughter because both of my kids just love watching dora the explorer. After all the planning for the party, my hubby wants to have sometime in the beach. i picked pearl farm beach resort in davao and i showed it to my hubby and he likes it so we booked our flights and resort room for us , with our kids and my 2 sisters too..

so after a few months we flew in Philippines so escape the winter weather here for 3 weeks.. After a very very long hours in the plane and thankful that my kids is well behave and no problem sleeping in the plane we arrived safe and sound and happy to be back with my family again!
