Aunt & Uncle Visit Philippines
I have an aunt that is only nine years older than me. She took great fun in making me scream/cry as a child, but now we have grown to be the best of friends. We lived with her family for six months while we had our home built in Texas in 2007. And when we moved to the Philippines over two years ago, we really wanted them to come visit us. Finally they were able to come out to visit us for two weeks at the end of January. We packed in a lot of fun things and made some wonderful memories during their visit to the Philippines.
My uncle had to go to Taiwan for work for a couple of days, so my aunt and I did some girls things. Like take a sugar cookie decorating class with some of my friends.
I celebrated my 36th birthday with my aunt by going to see the musical play “Beauty and the Beast”.
We showed our aunt how we watch movies at home…by having a therapist massage your feet, back, arms, head, neck, etc.
I took them to Tagaytay so they could see the countryside. Here we are with Taal Volcano in the background.
And we enjoyed sometime at Nurture Spa which was so relaxing.
We made them work out with us at Focus Athletics. We had to burn off some calories before we hit the buffets and restaurants.
Our uncles enjoys seafood, so we took him to a Dampa seafood place where we chose different seafood to buy and then took our purchases to the restaurant and told them how to cook them. It was all delicious.
Magnum Cafe is always a favorite since you get to make your own magnum bar.
We took a plane and then a boat ride on the Coco Princess to get to Siquijor island.
We stayed 2 nights at Coco Grove on Siquijor. We were so happy to be able to show them the island that my grandfather came from and the beauty that island holds.
We were able to enjoy dancers while we ate outside one evening at Coco Grove.
We had so much fun being all together again.
Here is a great video that our close friends who also came to Siquijor with us created of our time there.
