Saturday trip to Zamboanguita and Frankie’s Firsts
I guess you could say that starting Friday, the weekend was full of surprises and adventure. Not only did Frankie get to have his first trip to the Child Minding Center, but last Saturday, he also got his first “long ride” and first trip out of the city, oh, and his first night away from our bedroom. LOL
We were not planning on going with the rest of D’s family to Zamboanguita to celebrate his birthday together with his cousin’s birthday. However, we changed our minds and went after them. It was quite easy to catch up with them since D knows his aunt’s location in Zamboanguita. I know it would have been a killjoy of me if I did not go, but then I realized that I had no “other” things to do at home aside from my usual sitting in front of the computer. So we thought it was best to let the computers rest and stay away from the Internet even for one night. Besides, we were wondering how Frankie would fare on longer ride compared to the ones he is used to, especially outside of the city, and in another house for that matter. No questions asked about Sophie because she already left with the group as she was excited at the prospect of travelling already.
Suffice it to say that I sorely missed travelling. It has been YEARS since I have gone out of Dumaguete and the trip to Zamboanguita was a bit of fresh air – literally – to my computer-filled life. Okay, so yeah, I did bring Emily along, but that was only upon the request of D that we bring it because he was scared that since nobody was left at home, somebody might steal the computers (we locked away John (the PC) inside our room and padlocked it). I guess my friends’ predictions about me lugging a laptop wherever I go is indeed the truth. LOL
