Beach Baby


















On the last week of December, our whole household-- mommy, daddy, yaya menchie and yaya mai-mai, and me -- escaped to Barrio Salvacion in Agdangan, Quezon to attend two family reunions. My mother's side of the family is big on reunions and constantly find the occasion to get together.

With half of the house packed into the trunk, we drove off before dawn on December 28 to the Salvacion clan's beach front property. I didn't really know if I was going to have a great time but I had a hunch that it was going to be different because mom had bought me my first one-piece swimsuit with a matching wrap around skirt.

It was fun setting foot on the beach. I couldn't help jump around on the soft sand. You other babies should try going to the beach soon. It's one exciting adventure. You'll see star fish, jelly fish (avoid them!), corals and shells. Word of caution though, don't go there in December like I did. I brought home a little cough and cold because of the cool weather. But all in all, I had a great time.

I'll be posting my other beach pictures soon. Watch out!
