August Long Weekend in Boracay

Token Boracay Sand CastleLast weekend we were able to take a couple days and get out of Bacolod for a getaway. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm going through the northern part of the Philippines so we had to brave Lethbridge style winds and heavy rains that were on and off again. A couple of times we would look out to the sea and all you could see was this dark grey wall coming for us and we knew it was time to start running for the hotel! Thankfully we stayed central on the beach and so we never had too far to sprint before spotting the hotel on the beach, unfortunately there were a few times we got completely soaked. Thankfully when you're a kid and you're playing in the water rain doesn't bother you so much since you're all wet anyway. Madison was the most surprising as she seemed to enjoy the wind and rain sprinkles kicking her legs and squealing in delight when we would out to the beach.


One thing I have never seen before is underground construction on a beach before! These guys could dig a trench in the soft sand, lay the pipe and cover it up in no time!

We had some friends of ours join us on our trip. We were able to show them some different styles of food, like Mexican, which they weren't too sure about but bravely tried whatever we suggested. Thankfully the huge Mango shakes made up for the unique taste of Taco's. Mmmm, mango shakes.
