It wasn't Ace's first time at the beach (that would be our emergency trips to Cebu to visit my ninong and then to attend his funeral) but it was the first time that he went in the water. He didn't take to it right away, but after a few minutes of being in my lap and feeling the waves with his feet, he eventually relaxed enough to let go of my neck:p
I had mixed feelings about our recent vacation to Boracay though. It was our first time at Willy's Beach Club Hotel and I was impressed at how gorgeous its location was. This was our view while having buffet breakfast everyday that we were there. Beautiful!
But it was another story altogether in station 2, where hotels and restaurants seemed to be lumped on top of each other. It was just total mayhem. I guess if you're looking for an action-packed vacation you would appreciate the scene, but my lola self found it too much to take and we eventually spent most of our vacation holed up in our room or sprawled on the beach chairs in front of our hotel.
Ace made a friend in Boracay! There was a Chinese family checked-in right beside us and their little girl would go over to our room to play with Ace. At first she would just peek through the glass door, but after a few minutes, she was already rolling around on our bed, tickling and pestering Ace.
She kept on talking to me in Chinese too, unmindful of the fact that I couldn't understand her. Too cute! I think I want a baby girl:p
