CAMPING: The New Normal Family Bonding?
Do you remember our family's 3k Beach Getaway Challenge in 2016?
We were able to spend a day in Stilts Calatagan and with enough money left, we had bulalo dinner in Tagaytay on our way home. We went back sometime in 2019 and stayed in one of their Casitas but I wasn't able to write about it. 😔
It's almost a year since the pandemic started and although we are looking at brighter days ahead with the vaccine availability, we don't know yet when things will go back to the regular normal. 😕
A year in quarantine means no beach getaways, no staycations, not even weekend malling with our daughter. I've gone out less myself - a couple of grocery shopping with my husband, salon with my friend and visits to family for special events.
And although I can say we got used to the New Normal way of life, there are still moments of anxiety and cabin fever. The human need of being out of the house from time to time is mostly overpowered by the fear of getting the virus.
A few weeks back, I saw a thread in one of my mommy groups about which places to go with kids during this pandemic in the south. There were 3 top recommendations - Yoki's Farm, Reptiland Adventure and Driftwoods Sports Park. The latter appealed to us more because our daughter is now 10 and the farm and reptile adventure might no longer of interest to her.
Driftwoods Sports Park for Camping! We initially planned to do a Day Camp first but after watching numerous vlogs, we decided to go full throttle and spend the night there.
It will be our family's first camping experience! Well, aside from the school imposed camping activities, it will be my first too! 😆
So there, I will TRY to document every step of our camping adventure here.
Watch out for more!
