The Getaway!!

This weekend we had the chance to get away for a while. We went over to the Island beside us called Cebu...it's not to far about a 5 hr trip. It's broken up by a 2 hr. ferry ride where you can walk around and get some eats and look at the ocean or whatever. The driving part takes you through the mountains of our Island. Very pretty and different not to see bare peeks covered in Ice and snow all year around. These mountains are lush and green right to the top and covered with palm trees! We saw some real mountain dwelling people. Living in the middle of nowhere with no electricity and only a small room for there family of like 12! I caught a picture of one of the huts they live in......The traveling part went fairly smoothly.....Scarlett did some sleeping....Isabelle LOVED the Ferry ride and watching the Ocean.....When we got to the hotel we were ecstatic! It was so nice and HUGE!It had a beautiful pool, which we spent a lot of time at........A BATH TUB! That might not mean a lot to some of you but to my kids, it was heaven! They quickly stripped down and jumped in, with only the hotel soaps to play with as tub toys. They had one every morning AND night for the whole 5 days we were there....they loved it!It also had a super nice gym and steam-room, sauna area. Lance and I were loving it there and took turns daily ~ sometimes twice ~ to go work out or have a steam-room...ahhh bliss!
There was a huge nice mall and we did a whole day of shopping our brains out! We ate at TGI Fridays.....a first for me, but very yummy the whole family loved it!We had a lot of down time as well to just hang out in the hotel room..........which was good concidering I was feeling so under the weather and had completely lost my voice. I think this made for a nice time for Lance, I was unable to bark orders out or boss everyone around...needless to say it was a fairly "quiet" weekend! haha We also took the girls to see the new shrek movie and they both loved it!
