Adven-Char at the Beach, Batangas

Summer is almost here! While families an friends are posting their #braggie shots of the places they have been to, my roommate (my husband, btw) and I can't help but just "like" all their posts in envy. Unfortunately, summer's gonna come later this year since our school year ends in May pa. 

*sigh*

I've been begging Boss Ayat for a vacation since last year cos this is the first time I'm not going to Singapore with my family for our yearly one-month trip and I didn't win in the I love Ayala Mall's El Nido Giveaway. But Charley got featured anyway, which is nice. 

This momma needs a vacation. Now. 

When the long Holy week-end came, Team Hernandez grabbed the opportunity to head to Boss Ayat's house by the beach in Batangas! 

This is the 3rd time we're bringing Baby Charley to a beach: the first time when she was 2 months old and another when she was 3 so we're not sure how she would react to the beach. 

So we practiced by bringing the beach to her. Thank you, Inflatable Pool! 




With her Ate Vanna, Baby Charley got her first taste of the beach right there in our garage! Yes, in her hot red swimsuit. 

Days after, we headed to the beach house in Lobo, Batangas. After almost an hour, we're finally there to enjoy the beach right in front of the house. 


Fortunately, it wasnt very hot that day, so Baby Charley got to enjoy the beach in peace. 

First, we brought her to the shore and we waited until she's ready.





 And she did! Lots! 





Since we're already in the province, believe me it was such a relaxing experience, we wanted Baby Charley to experience the "buhay probinsya" in full. So we hiked a bit, showed her the farm animals she could only see in her books, and take a bath with a poso. 





Sadly, the day had to end and we had to say goodbye to the beach. But not for long Im sure! Cos now that we know Baby Charley loves the sea as much as we do, we can't wait to bring her to all of our travel adventures!

  3. Good for you that you were able to cross off a beach trip from your summer list :) We are contemplating of bringing our kid army to Batangas as well kahit for a day trip but with a 5 month old baby, a toddler and a grade schooler --- it's a handful! Hopefully, makastaycation man lang sana kami ulit before the summer ends.

    1. Since my husband grew up with the beach just across his house, he's not that interested, too. I'm just glad he's pumapayag whenever I ask him to take us there. :)
      Thanks for visiting! :)

    1. Hahaha! Yes. Sadly this beach is medyo mabato nga sa shore, but it's fine naman. It's not a resort, and there are beautiful resorts in Batangas na sandy. :)
      Thanks for visiting! :)

  15. Reading your post and seeing that your baby enjoyed the sea water adds up to my excitement this coming weekend! We will be bringing our son to a family summer getaway. It was just a private hot spring and pool though. But still, I'm excited! Hihi! I'm glad to see your Charley had fun. You must have another beach trip soon!! :)
