Earlier in our twenties, Stephen and myself went to Tagbilaran for the Holy Week.
Our friend Leslee, upon knowing about it, asked if he could come
So we went, drove the circumferencial road and went to the Chocolate Hills too.
This was way back in 2004, which happened to be the first time Stephen rode a boat.
So we went back to Cebu and on my next trip to Tagbilaran, I saw writings on one of the slippers
It said, “April 2004, JanLes was Here. First in Bohol Tour”
I’m sure he meant, “First time in Bohol.” He graduated an Engineer. Hahaha.
Last weekend we were back there, without Leslee this time.
And here are some of our pictures. All taken with the mighty, mighty iPhone.
We took the second trip to Tagbilaran. The kids were on their sleeping clothes..
Thurston just woke up.
Despite that it was early, the trip was packed.
For the kids, it was the first time to ride the fast craft.
We there!
I brought a photographer with me.
Tricycle is cool.
Mama’s mini-garden at our Tagbilaran City house.
Thurston felt at home right away.
Off we go to Chocolate Hells. I meant hills!
But first we passed by San MIguel to see Lolo Ben.
We walked on the roads that I used to play at when I was a little boy much like these two.
It was hot but it was really fun.
These kids always loves running.
In the meadows.
At the hills.
I think this is my 9th or 10th time here.
The mama and the papa.
Hello Hills!
Solos
Of we go to Panglao
But we passed by the Bee Farm for some Organic Ice Cream first.
Panglao!
The kids didn’t waste time.
While I had myself a bottle.
Family time.
Choy asked for this picture
Baby is not drinking beer.
Seeing the sunset in Dumaluan made me appreciate Panglao even more. It was really cool!
A rare photo.
A rarer photo!
And me also.
On our way home we passed by Mosia.
Their coffee was really good and the kids had a place to play.
The next day we had breakfast at Pa-initang Bol-anon. Wa Yamo!
The rest of Ash’s family came too.
This is Thurston having the time of his life in the grocery.
2nd day at the beach.
After lunch, we hiked a few hundred meters to South Palms for some Mango Shake.
It was really nice!
Ashton drank all of that!
The weekend went by like a breeze.
These two, squeezing in the last remaining light before it got dark.
Stephen and I picked up dried wood and fallen things from the coconut trees so we can have a mini bon fire.
