TAGAYTAY ( February 14 - 15, 2009 )

February 14

It’s our 2nd time to be in tagaytay. My hubby and I just decided to go overnight with the kids on Valentine’s Day. We don’t mind the traffic caused by the holiday. Anyway, tagaytay is close and accessible.

Our first stop when we got there was The Adoration Convent of Divine Mercy or popularly known as the Pink Sisters Convent. The nuns are literally dressed in pink. This is a beautiful place to pray and meditate. Obviously a must see in Tagaytay. This is a solemn and simple place of worship. If you are lucky, you can witness and hear angelic voices of nuns singing praises. There is a box at the side of the chapel where you can drop a note for your prayer request.

We had our lunch at Max’s restaurant in Tagaytay. Since the check in time in the hotel is 2pm. We go straight to picnic grove. The kids went horseback riding. While waiting for the kids, we saw 16 beetles parked at the parking area. There so cute. Maganda pala pag marami at sama sama…. Can’t resist taking pictures as souvenir, hehehe….

Then, at past 2pm, we checked in at One Tagaytay Place Hotel, at room 213. We rest and take a nap. Around 4pm, we go back at picnic grove. The kids go horseback riding for the 2nd time. At 6:30 pm, we decided to try the cable car. It’s cool, hehehe.

We had our dinner at chowking rotunda. The real plan was a dinner at overlooking Taal Lake, coz it’s Valentines Day. But there’s this concert around the rotunda that really caused heavy traffic that night. I wonder, how the Mayor of Tagaytay allowed that concert???? Were all the vehicles are passing thru that rotunda? Huh!
When we got to the hotel, we gave the gift to my Hubby. The album & the valentine’s card we made…. He was surprised and really loves it, hahaha.

We had our breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Went horseback riding again for the last time. Check out at the hotel around 11:30am. We had Japanese lunch at Sai’s favorite Teriyaki Boy overlooking the famous volcano in the taal lake.
Finally it was time to go back and face the traffic. The line of cars snaked all the way to Paradizoo and Residence Inn and zoo.

All in all, we had a great weekend. A fun filled day with my whole family.
