Multiple long weekends meant multiple opportunities for the fam to go off to faraway, exotic destinations. And, boy, did we ever! Let's see, there was a trip to, um, Laguna. Yeah. Then to Cavite. Whoa nellie. And then to Cavite again...
Look, I've been through this before: we got a kid in school now, bills to pay, fantasy leagues to manage...there's not enough time/resources to jet around just to look like a wannabe instagram influencer. On the other hand, the LLDD-Hyphen-L's social media skills and savvy did manage to hook us up with some gorgeous yet easy to get to places. So, yeah, we're happy. And our facebook albums are full.
Lotus Pod
A beautiful Balinese inspired resort, with intimate pools and lush landscaping. A good base, too, for exploring the waterfalls, parks and historic towns around Laguna. (I'm not sure, but I think it was also the setting for an Andrea Torres photoshoot. Um, so I've heard)
Riviera
More accurately, a resthouse compound near the golf club and the clubhouse pool. Great for reunions, extended family gatherings, and side-trips to gardens and farms along the Cavite highways. Also great for forcing a certain spouse and child to get over their wussy fear of water slides (the go-to move: go down as a family, but have the flabby husband take the lead -- the sheer drag caused by his large skin surface area will slow the steepest slide down to a near crawl)
Abagatan Ti Manila
More of a workcation, actually, but I'm still counting it because I want to claim something so gorgeous looking and beautifully designed as the place where the LLDD-Baby's photobombs finally seized the crown from the LLDD-Hyphen-L's posing-posing
pag may time, mama. pag may time
