We are jet-lagged and silly... Zachary and I returned from a 3-week long vacation to the Philippines just yesterday. Our stay was longer than expected because Zach became sick (nothing serious) near the tail-end of our original departure; Zach and I stayed behind for an additional week while J had to return home to get back to work.
Not only was it Zach's first time on an airplane, but also his first trip to the Philippines. I'm doubting he will remember this trip since he is only 15 months old, but we do have plenty of photos to tell him, "You did this!", when he is a little older.
The majority of our vacation was spent in my mom's hometown of San Pablo City (approximately a 2 hours drive from Manila). It was our first time to see my parents' new home away from home--very nice. Although we spent most of our time in San Pablo, we did take some day trips to Tagaytay, Ugu's (known for his amazing pottery) home, Manila, and the family farm. We opted out of family beach trips because of sickness and not knowing how Zach would handle the long travels.
If you're looking for a romantic get-away and willing to spend some money, you may want to travel to Cappadocia, Turkey.
