Random Thoughts

This is our second time in Tagaytay with our CFC friends (and kids). The last time we were there was 7 months ago, which was October last year (Check out my post here). We had several options for our summer outing but unfortunately we were too late that we weren't able to get good rooms in Clark and Bataan. So opted again to stay in Tagaytay. Anyway, our main purpose would be to bond and that the kids will have a grand time.

Just like last October, Hubby, Alex and I went there ahead of the group and left Manila on Friday to fix and clean the house. We got there around 9PM because we had to stop at KFC for dinner and mercury to buy some medicines. Traffic was not too bad. Although we were expecting it already that's why we were surprised to find how smooth our trip was.

Since the rest of the group were coming around lunch time, we decided to go to Sonya's Garden for breakfast. You see, ever since I've tasted their hot chocolate (a year ago), I've been wanting to try it again for months! And now we had the opportunity to go back again so I was so excited! The breakfast was delicious! They served Chicken and Pork Adobo, mushroom omelette, daing na bangus, their famous mango salsa, fried rice, and hot chocolate. I can say that I was in heaven (sorry, it's the pregnant woman talking here! LOL!). Hubby and I were so engrossed with the food that we forgot to take pictures. Realizing it, we at least took a photo of the dessert...

After a very heavy and sumptuous breakfast we just took photos of the place and then off we went to Bag of Beans to buy some bread.


I think I look pregnant now that I ate so much! LOL!




Hubby's turn...



After buying some raisin bread for my Mom and whole wheat bread for me (which I find so soft and yummy) at Bag of Beans, we went back to the house and fetch Alex. We met the rest of the group at LZM for lunch around 11:30AM. Again it was another sumptuous meal - Boneless Bangus and Bulalo. And we also ordered Chicharon and Lechon Kawali. Bad! But everyone was happy after the meal. The meal was also affordable considering that all of us ate and even had to bring home the rest of the food. After lunch we had coffee at Figaro then went back to the house for the kids to rest.

The kids were able to rest for an hour or so and then we went to the park for them to play. This time the weather was wonderful, not too cold and not too hot. The kids had a grand time! Time flew so fast when we were there. Next thing we knew we had to go back to the house to prepare for dinner.

It was a long night. After dinner we had another food trip with the girls and just talked until 12 midnight. And then the boys were left downstairs until 2AM. Everyone slept after that and I can say that everyone slept soundly.

The next day, after another heavy breakfast, we went to Paradizoo Theme Farm to check what's in store for us and the kids. It was a huge farm, there were animals but it was too hot to check out the entire area. Everyone felt so hot that I think didn't get to enjoy much. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are planning to go on a lunch time! Anyway, here are the photos...






The 5-Legged Bull









After some group picture taking, we then called it a day! I'm glad that we were able to push through with this summer outing in spite of the busy schedules. Because seeing all the kids play and having a great time, it's all worth the break. :)
