Random Thoughts

We planned a weekend getaway with our CFC household last month so off we went to Tagaytay last weekend. We were 6 families all in all. We were 13 adults and 10 kids (8 boys and 2 girls!). Oh, we had a blast!

We arrived there Friday night to prepare the house for the rest of the household who will be arriving on Saturday. We expected a heavy traffic because it was rush hour and we knew that there were a lot of constructions going on along South Superhighway, but miraculously, traffic was a breeze! Even if we had dinner along South Superhighway, we still managed to have a two hour drive (not bad!). Weather was not that cold last Friday night and also we realized that we did the right decision on going there early because we were just relaxed and we didn't have to rush things all the time. We slept early because for some reason, it's just so nice to sleep early in Tagaytay. LOL!

We had a busy Saturday morning. We prepared the house early since we were meeting our friends for an early lunch. But probably because of traffic, it turned out that we had lunch at exactly 12 noon. We had lunch at LZM and the food was great there. Their Bulalo and fried bangus was so yummy that I would to go back there again. Price was reasonable too.

After lunch we decided to go back to the house to settle down, fix our things, and probably take a nap. Everyone was so excited especially the kids!

After some chikahan and kids getting bored already, we went to the park to let the kids play. Kids and adults alike had a wonderful time. LOL! Although it was so windy at that time, kids didn't mind it at all. They were so busy playing!

We went home afterwards and started preparing dinner. Hubby and I were assigned to prepare dinner so I just prepared Puttanesca and Pesto Pasta. The kids loved it (or they were just hungry after playing in the park!?) and had two servings of it. LOL!

Time flew so fast when we were there, next we knew we were surprising our friend for her Bridal Shower. We brought gifts for her and she loved them all. I don't know though if she had a hint that we will be surprising her. But I can see that she really loved the gifts that we brought. By the way, she will be giving birth on the first week of December.




After the bridal shower, we had games (while the kids are already sleeping) and lots and lots of alcoholic drinks. LOL! We finished early though, it was around 12:30am that we decided to call it a night.



The next day, brunch was served at 12 noon because everybody was so tired to wake up early. After brunch and after our pictures were taken, everybody packed their things and started to go home.

But Hubby and I stayed to clean the house first and then went to Mahogany Market to buy some food. I just love buying there because they are open anytime. And the vegetables are yummy compared here.

Anyway, it was a short but nice vacation. We were expecting Alex to enjoy it but I really don't know what happened, she suddenly became so clingy that she doesn't want to let go of me. Probably she was not used to having so many people in the house and so many kids too! LOL!
