Canyon Cove Beach Nasugbu ~ Fun! Fun! Fun!

  

My family enjoys barefeet strolls along warm fine beach sand.  We can spend hours just gazing on the beach and people walking by.

 

... And did just that when during our Canyon Cove overnight!

 

 

 

Water was warm and inviting...

 

My boys came prepared and brought their beach toys with them.

Play time!

Loving the sunset!

Rowilda's Abel Iloco

 

Abels are Ilocos regions's traditional wooven textile made from yards of cotton. 

 

Abel textiles are produced into blankets, bedsheets, pillow cases, washcloths table napkins, bags and purses, table runners... the list goes on!

 

You can get your abel from the Vigan public market or Calle Crisologo. 

 

Since I wanted to see first hand how abels are made,  I just have to get mine from one of the local weavers Rowilda's at barangay Camanggaan.

 

Prices are just about the same in Calle Crisologo, unless you are buying in bulk. 

 

I bought table napkins, wash clothes and blankets for pasalubong, however, when we reached Manila, I can't seem to part with abel buys.  I decided to keep them all (hahaha).  The blankets are well made and very soft ~ I regret not buying more! 

Momarco Resort's Mini Zoo

 

 

My Momarco Resort day tour ended with a visit to Momarco's mini zoo...

 

 

There were very few animals, limited to a boa snake...

 

 

 various birds...

 

koi fishes...

 

The zoo is indeed mini, but is very good add on especially if you have kids tagging along.

 

 

 

 

Now for the going home pose :P





Momarco Resort's Playground

 

 

 

 

 

A trip to Momarco Resorts turned into a kiddo's day out for my kids. 

 

My boys, especially my youngest is crazy about playgrounds.  He was so excited when he found out Momarco has one.  Right after we have settled in our cottage, he begged for a visit to the playground. 

 

My youngest is a social butterfly.  I wasnt long until he found some one to play with.

My turf!  Yeah!!

 

 

Alone again!  My friend just left :C

Oh well... swing-swing nalang!!!

HONG KONG DISNEYLAND'S - IT'S A SMALL WORLD

 

I love dolls!  A visit to Hong Kong Disneyland's "It's a Small World" attraction was my kind of thing.  I am not really sure, however, if my boys enjoyed the show as much as I did :P

 

 

The set up was just amazing!  There must have been hundreds of dolls making up these collections. 

 

 

The dolls (wearing costumes representing nationalities of people from the different parts of the world) twirl and dance around an elaborate podium with cultures and customs of  various countries and continents around the globe as backdrop.

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite part of the show is ofcourse the Filipino dolls dancing to a Tagalized version of "It's A Small World".
 

 

 

 

I was sad to see the "Paalam" signage!   I honestly wanted more... :C

 

 



Beach Bumming at Canyon Cove Nasugbu Batangas

 Three hours away from Manila and just about an hour away from Tagaytay is Nasugbu Batangas. 

 

I got a weekend deal from a group buying site and ended up 110kms South of Manila in Canyon Cove Residential Beach Resort,

 

The drive to Nasugbu was a breeze... all thanks to the C6 shortcut via Taytay out Bicutan (also saved us a couple of bucks on toll fees).   

  

 

The resort lobby was flooded with guests. It was understandable that it would take the receptionist another hour to get everyone settled in.

 

 

We were led to a 2nd floor superior room with 2 twin size bed and a bay bed (spacious enough for 5 adults). 

 

It took my kids just seconds to warm up to the beds.  The room is quite comfortable ~ I could just stay here for the rest of the day and sleep inside this well-airconditioned room.

The room opens to a balcony with a view of the beach below.  We just love, how, the rooms are situated and with direct access to the water excitement below.

 

 

 

Our view of the beach (unfortunately blocked the trees outside).  I think a 3rd floor room would have gotten a better view. 

The resort has play ground.  My youngest played a while, but the I had to cut short the fun as it was scorching hot outside.

The pool comes as a good alternative to those who hates the feel of sand on their face. There were plenty swimming, but the pool was so huge, the volume of people dwarfed in size.

 

Water is clean and warm, just perfect for the kiddos. 





 

Nothing beats the beach for these boys though.

 

Sand-water-sun-view (FUN)!!!

 

 

We so love sunsets in the Philippines!  Very romantic...

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 Canyon Cove Residential Resort is just perfect for family get-aways.

 

If not for the poor food options, would have easily given this place a 5 out of 5.  Food was real bad ~ our office cafeteria food tastes better at 1/4 the cost we paid for. 

 

For better meal options, I suggest a 5-10 minutes drive out the resort to Nasugbu town proper and head to Kainan sa Dalampasigan.

Burnham Park Baguio

 

 

Burnham Park still is the best place for your kids to mingle and socialize with other children when in Baguio.

 

There are lots of activities for your tots to enjoy and do!!!

 

(1) Race your kiddos on rented Bikes

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2) Do sight seeing and take tons on pictures

 

 

(3) Take a leisurely boat ride at the Burnham Lagoon 

(get a boatman to enjoy the ride more) 

 

 

 

(4) Get a book, sit under one of the pine trees while the kids roam the playground.

 

 

 

You need not spend a gazillion to have fun-quality time with your kids.
