As you all know, family and I went home last month to celebrate Christmas and New Year with the family in our homeland. I've always wanted Mavi to experience how it's like to celebrate the holidays at home, to be with grandparents, cousins and relatives and to enjoy the local sights and festivities.
So allow me to share some pictures from our trip. First stop, husband's place. Yes, we live worlds apart in the Philippines!
Zoocobia
We always visit the zoo. And we’re so lucky that there’s a new zoo located near my in-laws place. Because we were considered as “VIP”, we get to have our own tour guide and had a close encounter with most of the animals in the zoo.
Here we get to….
Hold a parrot
Get lost in the Garden Maze
Go Carting
Feed the ostrich
Feed the monkey
Feed a camel, goat, and donkey
And see in person the animal that produces one of the most expensive coffees in the world, the wild civet.
Sky Ranch
We love that there was a night carnival in town! First time for Mavi to be out at night (not in the cold), and enjoying the carnival ride!
Dinosaur Island
Saving the best for last, we visited the newly established Dinosaur Island just a few minutes from hubby's place. Mavi was ecstatic! He's obsessed with dinosaurs and he was ecstatic upon arrival!
The Dinosaur Island is right in the middle of a rainforest, and that dinosaur statues were so impressive! It's like an outdoor museum of dinosaurs, and even if their animation and sound effects were limited, Mavi and the entire had a wonderful time vieiwing the elect... dinosaurs.
Aside from these sights, we get to visit relatives as well. After celebrating Christmas at my in-laws house, we travelled again for a day via a domestic flight going to my folk’s house to spend the New Year. Pictures coming up for Part II!
