a kirsten-full tagaytay weekend, part 3

the next morning, this is how miss k woke up. we went out to the balcony to get some sun. she is not a "sun" person. :D we had breakfast downstairs at the C2 lobby of the hotel. chose to get a table overlooking pool.

the food choices were limited, they could do much, much better.

first ever dip in the pool (we wanted to take her swimming but the water was cold!) she likes water a lot! well, now. she didn't before. ;P

busy sila o!

a little disney junior (she doesn't watch television much, only for a really short time)

then it's off to dreamland zzzzz...

i don't know what kind of expression this is :D

our happy baby

and our lunch at tootsie's (we enjoyed the kbl and embutido!)

cheers to more relaxing trips like this with family! :)

a kirsten-full tagaytay weekend, part 2

and so the baby enjoys her staycation (see how her right hand feels the sheets?? i do that too!)

here she is playing with the coffee sachet while waiting for us to get ready to leave for dinner

that's me hanging out at the balcony. it was cool but not chilly.

we wanted pizza, so carlo's pizza it is.

see, the baby was hungry too! poor sophie! (inaabot ni yaya a sa kanya, ayun instead na abutin e kinagat hehe)

food! i have to say, carlo's was expensive ha!
