road trip la union and baguio - June 9 to 10' 2007
my mom is in one of her road trip moods again..she usually gets this way whenever theres a long weekend ahead...in this case, its the independence day holiday which was moved from june 12 to 11 to give us a 3 day weekend..
a few days back she texted me to say..."come home this weekend were going somewhere"...i asked "where?"...she said "oh i dont know yet, but we will."... now i know where i get my impulsiveness from :P
so friday night me, my sister and niece went home to nueva ecija, where my mom stays....so i asked her.."where are we going?" and i found out that up until that day she doesnt have a plan yet...shes deciding between...pangasinan, la union, baguio, ilocos, vigan...etc etc...
the next day, sat, we packed up our stuff bright and early, climbed the van and started our roadtrip to nowhere..lol
on the way....mom finally decided that we will go to la union, because weve never been there......but where in la union? my cousin said...oh how about bauang... its near baguio, just at the foot of the mountain so it will be easy for us to go to baguio the next day..so that settles it..
we rented a cottage in la union, the beach was clean, nice, private and quiet...because i think most people are already in manila to get ready for the first day of school...so we have the beach to ourselves....yipee! too bad i forgot to bring my swimsuit, because originally i didnt plan to swim....but then it seems that the sea is calling me so ive decided to take a dip early the next morning, wearing shirt and shorts....oh it was so nice...we took a walk along the shore, the water is not cold and there are only a few people around because its still early... i love the sea... just looking at the waves and the sky is very peaceful...just what i need after a stressfull week at work
the next day we went to baguio...with our picnic bags and had lunch at burnham park... afterwards we toured the usual spots like wright park, mansion house, mines view....there are just too many people around...traffic is bad..and its not cold ... it doesnt look like baguio...except for the flowers...lol...but we did enjoy ourselves..
we bought some silver jewelries, t shirts....food...etc etc..then we headed back home...
it was tiring but definitely worth it..now my mom is looking forward to the next long weekend..which is.....????? i dont know....but i hope it comes soon...i cant wait ... :)
