Ordinarily, we don't go out on Sundays because we just all want to rest and stay home in preparation for the new week ahead. But since, it was going to be a holiday tomorrow and Patrick is test driving the Subaru Impreza, we all decided to take a trip to UP so that the kids can bike freely. We were also looking forward to having lunch at Rodic's :) So here are the kids having Taho while on break :)
Now, we didn't take pictures at Rodic's because you've seen a lot of them by now. What surprised us though was when Patrick decided to drive all the way to Tagaytay just to test the Subaru Impreza :) So, we decided to go to Palace in the Sky which we haven't gone to. It was quite a ride going up through the slightly roads zig-zagging roads and we had to do a little climbing (walking) to get to the entrance. Apparently, a lot of people had the same thought during this holiday as there were a lot of people here too.
So here we were, taking advantage of the views from our high vantage point.
Now these two succeeding pictures actually tell an unfortunate incident while we were there. I took this picture (notice the umbrella behind them). It was cloudy when we arrived that's why we took it and indeed, it rained a little while we were there. At the next picture, Patrick took the shot and after that, we all went somewhere else. Unfortunately, Patrick forgot the umbrella under this picnic hut! We realized it after we climbed the other peak which was about 5-7 minutes away so by the time we got back to this spot, the umbrella was gone. Patrick was pissed because it was his favorite Subaru umbrella and it was huge and can protect all four of us.
After a rather frustrating time trying to locate the umbrella, we just decided to chalk it up to experience. We left Palace in the Sky (I think they call it People's Park now) but I was still keeping an eye out for that huge Subaru umbrella hehe. To console ourselves, Patrick drove to
Mushroom Burger since the kids haven't eaten there yet and it has been a long time for Patrick and me too. After our snacks of burgers, fries and drinks, the kids went outside and spent some time in the playground :)
To end the day, we had dinner at Rose and Grace restaurant in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
