May 20, 2011:
past 10 am - left Dasma
12:15 pm - arrived at Maryland Resort
- Lunch consisted of adobo, humba, manga at bagoong, paksiw na g.g., itlog na maalat with kamatis from LA's backyard, binagoongang porkchop, tons of rice!
1 pm- rest kunwari pero maya maya lang ay nag beach volleyball na kami, while kuya and bachie played along the sand
2:30 pm- kunwari maglalakad lang along the beach, pero lumublob na din!
3:30pm - don saw fisherman trying to catch fish, he joined them. Jeboy followed after about 30 minutes of watching them wait for the fish to be caught in the net.
Daddy's share was about half a kilo of fish (sapsap)
placed inside Jeboy's sacrificial shirt!
5:00pm - Beach Volleyball! Some Indians played with us. (Verrry goodd, veryy goood!)
6:30 pm- "Ahon" time for the kids!!! But the big ones transferred to the pool. Jeboy was the longest in the pool. He stayed there from 7 pm to 11:30 pm. If not for the caretaker who told us that the pool is closed as it is going to be cleaned already, he wouldn't have gotten off the pool.
May 21:
7 am- Swimming time with pasiklaban ng Jump Shot!
8 am- Bunny rode a horse (P50 one trip). Brave girl!!!
10 am - Mommy G, Kuya and Val pitched a tent in the sand.
- even Val enjoyed playing in the sand 
Playing under the sun
Bachie loves playing with sand
12 noon - Sadly, it's time to go...
Outings need not be expensive and the all the activities planned and detailed. What's important is that they're spent with family, friends and loved ones. That experience is PRICELESS.
TILL THE NEXT OUTING!!!
