…Scattered Brain

My son and I went to Tagaytay last Thursday, July 17th for his class educational field trip to Tagaytay - I the mommy acting as chaperon. But more than that I thought it was a good time to bond with my son.  We woke up at 5am to give us enough time to prepare ourselves - the assembly time being 7am at Camella School. We departed at around 7:30am cause we have to wait for the latecomers. (You know Filipino time) I must admit I’m one of them.. hahaha!

Anyway, our first destination was Paradizoo Theme Farm, we arrived there at 9:30am; it is located in Mendez, Cavite some few minutes away from Tagaytay. They breed and take care of different farm animals and nurture various trees, vegetables and flowers. We had lunch there at around 11:30am. Sid had a whale of a time and immensely thrilled by horseback riding.

Our second destination was The Residence Inn, one of the more popular destination among visitors to  Tagaytay and for field trips among students in  Metro Manila and adjacent towns and cities. It has a conference hall, restaurant, rooms for rent, playground, and several view decks where you can have a panoramic view of the famous Taal Volcano.

After Residence Inn, our last stop was in Collettes store and fruit stand. We bought 2 boxes of Buco Pie, Boat Tart, fresh Pineapples, Papaya and Avocados for pasalubong (present).

My son Sid really enjoyed the trip, we were talking on our way back home. He was really happy and enjoyed the trip a lot. He said he would love to go back to Tagaytay again and again. Well, his last trip to Tagaytay when he was 4 years old. When we got home I was very exhausted. Ifelt like I lost 10 pounds (I wish!) cause I’ve been walking.. walking and walking and his yaya for the whole day trip… hehehe! But it’s worth it. It was a good break for me from the hustle and bustle of work but more importantly the bonding between mom and son should yield dividends and reinforce our love for each other.  We both agree that we should come back with the whole family next time…
