Paradise

Last week we decided to take a semi-spontaneous trip to Boracay Island here in the Philippines. The beach has made it into the worlds top 10 beaches multiple times and although we couldn't figure it out the first time we came for New Years we defiantly changed our minds this second time around! It was such an action packed trip that we hardly had time to rest but then I've heard that you should need a vacation to recover from your vacation which is exactly what we need!
Close your eyes and imagine the sitting on a motorbike with the warm breeze cooling you from the hot sun with the white sand beach and the different shades of tourquise water to look at... sigh. It was so beautiful. We decided to get it all in; snorkeling, motorbiking, beaches, shopping, food and parasailing. We were able to cover the entire by land, water and air! It was incredible. We started with snorkeling and had a pumpboat take us around the Island stopping at one beach with these little warriors and these great white beaches spotting the entire coastline;

Of course after enjoying a day in the water you have to fill up on food! Boracay is lined with buffets and foods from all over the world. We were able to eat Greek, Steak, Mexican, Mongolian and more...

One of the things that I've always wanted to do is to go Parasailing so when we were able to get the perfect price we couldn't pass it up!! Ryan and I were able to go up together with Brayden and Sydney watching with wide eyes.

After parasailing in the morning we spent a couple of hours in the afternoon on a motorcycle having a look at the island from the interior. It seemed that no matter which direction we drove we ended up at a white beach lined with pump boats and kids playing in the sand. And of course you can't have a trip to Boracay without a picture of one of the sandcastles that line the White Beach:

The weather was perfect, the food was great and we had the wonderful company. It was defiantly one of the tops of our trips so far and how could you not want to go back when you get to end your days like this:
