1st Family Trip of the Year

Every year, as a family we make it a point to go on a travel atleast once or twice a year depending on my husband's free time at work and off course --- the budget! Lol. We chose March as it is my Hubby's birth month and our 5th wedding anniversary month. This time, we picked Huntington Beach for our destination and a quick stop in SanDiego to see my loved ones before they head to the Philippines for the holyweek.

It's our 2nd time to be in Huntington. The first time we went there was when I got to visit my grandma then she toured us at the Huntington Pier. We find the place so clean, not so crowded, nice parking space and despite of the cold water, the warm weather is so perfect to hangout. I guess im just really looking forward to warm weather since it has been chilly here in Newman for the longest time. lol!.. We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel which is I believe 5miles away form the beach. Traffic is not so bad as going to the main city.

Before heading towards Huntington, we made a lunch stopover and a little shopping at the Citadel Outlet and left when it was ready for us to check-in.

 

 

Mar 14, 2019 my hubby's birthday and our 2nd day in Socal. We went to grab some lunch and spent the rest of the morning and afternoon at the beach. Kids had fuuuuuuun and at night time, we got to meet my youngest brother-in-law at the Orange Outlet who lives in the Orange County. We always go to that outlet whenever we are in SoCal and again did a little shopping and more of window shopping hahaha!!.. Kids went to sleep right away after shower after a long tiring and fun day at the beach :)

Mar 15, 2019- last day in Huntington and left the hotel at 9AM and headed to SanDiego Ca where my Mom's mom and sisters lived. First we had a lunch stopover at Jollibee in Plaza Blvd National City then dropped off the kids to my Aunt's house because its time for our couple's massage FINALLY!!! at the Happy Head Massage and Reflexology in Chula Vista. It was the best 1hour of my life HAHAHA!!!.. Then after the massage, we went back to pick up the kids and my Mom and Dad (actually my Aunt and Uncle) accompanied us to check in at the Viejas Casino and Resort for a 3days and 2nights stay. As you can see in my vlog, that's where my phone's memory went full! lol!... I'll do better next time haha..

Mar 16, 2019- we explored the Viejas Casino Outlet (yes, we love exploring outlet shop!) then met with my relatives again to dine at Fung Fung Yuen in Miramar until we head back to the hotel and get some rest and pack up for our trip back home the next day.

Mar 17, 2019- headed back home here in Newman. Hubby is complaining a sore in his legs and butt.. oohh!! poor daddy!!.. that's what you get when you don't allow me to long drive hehe..

So there you have it, our little get away and we're still looking forward for more. As a matter of fact, we already booked for April for Universal Studio with my friend and her daughter so I'll sure do share our trip again. Btw, I hope you enjoy this video and God bless everyone!

Happy One Year to us, Newman Ca!

Yay! time flies really fast. It was a year ago when we got to move in to our new home sweet home here in Newman from Lathrop. It was roughly around 45mins away. We are enjoying our stay here and my husband said that he can see himself retiring here. lol! goodbye Hawaiian dream! :) haha.

We so love the neighborhood because we feel safe. We do neighborhood watching here and we lived in a nearby school, church, fire and police station. Major stores and hospitals could have been quite a travel but it was not so bad at all. I know someday they will put up some here. We enjoy the authentic Mexican treats at the downtown and its pretty safe to take late afternoon walks because the streets are well lighted and police cars are patrolling from time to time around the area. There are many park and playgrounds for kids and Newman has a lot of active organizations which they welcome everyone to join. So far we got a lot of Filipino friends we met at church and we enjoy their company so much.

We will never forget how blessed we are in having such a sweet home and we promised that we will continue to make more memories in it. We can't wait for that as our little one will soon be with us and be officially a family of four :)
