Our Road Trip to Tagaytay City
12:44 PM Posted In vacation Edit This 0 Comments »
hmm.. what can i say, this was the best vacation ever. we had our weeklong summer vacation last april26- may3. Our first stop was Tagaytay City, the second summer capital of the Philippines. It was a tiring yet fun trip. Can you imagine, I travelled alone tagging my two kids and worst is our flight is two hours delayed. OMG! Mark, my hubby was just waiting for us in Manila coz he just got back from Singapore. We arrived in Manila around 7pm and I'm glad i handled the kids all throughout the flight. Thank God!
So glad to see my husband coz we missed him. We went first to Cavite to have our dinner at the place of Mark's friend. We were so hungry, its a good thing they ordered Max's fried chicken and crispy pata for us. Yummy! After our dinner, rest a bit then started our road trip to Tagaytay. We're kinda lucky because Mark's friend lend us his car. It's more adventure for us coz we were alone but my husband knows where to go that's why i'm confident. It wasn't such a long trip. We arrived in Tagaytay around 11pm.. the kids we're asleep the whole trip but woke up when we got there. First thing we did was find a place to stay. We're lucky to find Aroma Tagaytay Apartelle, its really affordable. After checking in, we drove around and went to starbucks for some coffee coz the kids are awake. So, might as well check out the places here.
The next day it was time for our tour around the city. We had our breakfast at the apartelle and its a good thing dessert is for free. We had sweet pineapple. After eating we head straight to Our Lady of Manaog, we took some pictures there and bought some delicacies of Tagaytay. It was a Sunday morning so it was a perfect time to visit mama Mary. Next stop was the zoo at Residence Inn. Its a perfect picnic place for the family where you will find a mini zoo and children's play area, all set amidst the view of Taal Volcano. Very nice!!! The kids were so amazed with the animals. After practically going to malls every weekend this was something new to them. The fact that my kids seemed happy to see real live lion and tiger that they otherwise see only in books made me appreciate this trip as well. =) It was lunch time and we're hungry.. we headed straight to a restaurant where they serve their specialty "bulalo and tilawis". The restaurant was overlooking the Taal Volcano and had a sumptuous lunch. We went back to the apartelle to rest and get ready for our next destination... Enchanted Kingdom. We will be checking out today coz we planned to stay in Makati after going to Enchanted Kingdom. We'll thats of course is another story but i'm pretty sure we will be coming back to Tagaytay soon..
