Snapshots of my Life

Since we stayed up late to welcome 2010, we woke up a little late on New Year’s Day. We started our day by having breakfast and preparing our things for checkout. We left the guest house around 10:45 since we want to catch the 11 AM mass at the nearby church. We went to hear mass and it was a good way to start the New Year by thanking God as a family for all the blessings that He has showered upon us for 2009. After the mass, the choir had a finale song and we asked B to watch the choir but she went running in front and joined the choir in singing. The choir master even gave her a star as part of their props.
After hearing mass, we went to Leslie’s for lunch. Everybody was so hungry already and we are lucky since we we’re able to find a table right away. This is one of the things that I like about Leslie’s restaurant; the restaurant is big so they can accommodate a lot of guests even if it is a busy day. The restaurant is also clean and I particularly like their Toto sinks and B’s favorite is their pond with kois and everybody’s favorite is their viewing deck where there is a good view of the Taal Volcano and Taal Lake. Their food of course is very affordable and yummy too.
After lunch, we wanted to go to Picnic Grove since my cousins and my siblings wanted to try the Zip Line but there was heavy traffic going there so we decided to just let the kids do horse back riding near Leslie’s restaurant. The kids have all been waiting for this so they we’re really excited when they saw the horses.
After horse back riding, we we’re still full after the heavy lunch. We initially wanted to eat at Bag of Beans or have desserts in one of the restaurants in Cliffhouse but the adults and the kids we’re all so tired already that we all decided to just call it a day and go home.

It was really a fun New Year’s celebration. Everybody had fun that they wanted to have another family out of town gathering this coming summer and they are asking me to plan for it. I am sure it will be one fun vacation again and everybody will be looking forward to this vacation.
