As the usual, the flight from Manila was delayed.
I was supposed to be home by 11PM but I got here at 12 instead
And then I thought about sleeping
But decided to look at the pictures from the past few days
Well, here I am writing all about it
While everything’s pretty much clearer still
It was my first time in Bataan
And I thought that little place was really nice
On my way to the airport, somebody asked if the picture I posted
on instagram was really as nice as it looked.
So I sent her the untouched photo
I guess she agreed with me. It was really, terribly nice.
Hello :)
Thank you Jacob for asking your Mom if I could come on your birthday. I hope one day we’ll all look at these photos and relive all the fun we had.
It took us around 2 hours something to get to Bataan.
Rica immediately wanted a picture as soon as we stepped inside the car.
We stayed at Landrina Escape. It was absolutely wonderful.
The birthday boy, Jacob. So excited for the pool.
There they are.
Here’s Anna wanting to change to swimming clothes too!
Little Chase. We call him Chaseeee!
I wanted to check out the beach but the boys beat me to it. They didn’t like the big waves.
Here’s Chaseeee, Tita Christine and Anna.
Chase and Dada.
In the afternoon I walked and took this picture of Landrina from afar.
The kids stayed indoors towards the evening and played video games.
In the morning, I took another walk towards the sea.
The waves were relentless.
But I like how everything was.
Here’s Maxine, who woke up at the living area where she slept.
Young Jedis!
I brought the boys to the beach.
But we had a quick break to blow the birthday candles on the cake!
Rica and Chaseeee!
Later in the afternoon we headed back to the sea. After I took a nap that is.
Rica wanted to make sand castles.
These kids know their way to organizing, you know?
I brought my iPhone to the sea banking on the waterproofing feature.
I thought this looked cool.
And that Karen’s unbrella stood out of it all.
In the afternoon, I wrote a blog by the sea and called the rest of the guys to see the sunset.
The Robleses. We’ve been at this for 4 years.
It was low tide so the kids, in their non-swimming clothes, enjoyed the beach over again.
I ran around like they did.
My heart was racing. Old people issues.
But it was a good exercise..
Here’s Anna applying her ballet skills on the beach.
