Micro Summer Vacay 2015

February 19-22, 2015

Off to Baguio City to make most of our time with the Alimodian family who are, in less than 7 months, migrating to Canada.

Sitio Pungayan, or also known as La Presa, becomes an instant popular destination especially among the avid followers of ABS-CBN's favorite telenovela, "Forevermore". People flock the said shooting location most of the days.

 Souvenir Shirts were available at the site and we also met this charming little local in traditional Igorot costume. You will be charged of a fee on taking photographs with the "La Presa" banner (not pictured).

There were just a few group of people when we arrived at about 7 in the morning, so we got to enjoy the location and had extra time to explore. Walk further and you'll get to see this panoramic view.

We revisited the usual attractions in the City of Pines over the course of two days: Rollerblading with the kids at Burnham Park, Strawberry-picking at La Trinidad, Hot choco tasting at Choco-late de Batirol, Thrill-seeking at Tree Top Adventure, and just goofing around at The Mansion.

Team Alimodian enjoying some corn and sunshine at Mine's View Park. We will surely miss the company of this wonderful family.

Calamansi-picking and veggie-harvesting at the farm. And the icing on top of the cake, a boodle fight! =D

Natividad Sky Plaza

Then there was this new bonding ground closer to home, since then, I look forward to have a good short trek with my family whenever I spend days of vacation in my hometown.

Sky Plaza is located in a nearby sleepy town of Natividad, about 30 mins away from where I live. It is close to nature and heaven too, as the Grotto was atop the hill with growing trees along the trail. I feel euphoric inhaling the smell of grass, feeling the breezy air, and just by being with the people I love.

I also started bringing along some friends to experience what I've been enjoying to do with my family. It is always a good thing to having spent some quality time with your loved ones early in the morning =)
