Our newest family member, Junífera Clarita, was sound asleep the whole time during her first real travel with us this afternoon. Perhaps she remembers all the sensations she must have been feeling during her in utero travels with us, when we were inside fast moving buses and jeepneys and tricycles going through rickety and long and winding roads filled with traffic noise. Yes, she's been traveling with us time even before the day she was born (we didn't know that Yeyette was already pregnant during our Christmas afternoon stroll almost a year ago).
Incidentally, we are also celebrating today this travel blog's first anniversary. And we were so blessed to have sunny skies (the sky has been gloomy all morning and it has been drizzling for days).

So where did we go? Right here...

| Jamboree Lake, Muntinlupà City. A monument featuring Lady Justice is at the middle. We will feature more about this place in a future blogpost. |
Our trip to Jamboree Lake, considered as the country's smallest lake, was just a brief respite from all the stress that has been bugging us lately, but it was all worth it. My sons had a grand time soiling their hands and shirts, and we all had a breathe of fresh air.

| LA FAMILIA VIAJERA: Making History! |
We were supposed to visit Intramuros, the first place which this blog featured. But problems in logistics due to a recent crisis prevented us from doing so. Besides, Yeyette still couldn't travel long distances because of what happened to her. But as I have said, our Jamboree Lake trip was worth it since all of us in the family are nature lovers. We were glad that highly urbanized Muntinlupà City still maintains a sanctuary such as this: beautifully rustic and serene. Hopefully, other cities in Metro Manila will follow suit.

| ¡Pitó na camí! |
To those very few who have been following this humble family travel blog of ours since its inception last year, our heartfelt thanks! We had a strong start but things got slow because of a death threat and Yeyette's life-threatening childbirth. We're hoping for the best for our second year, and for the years to come. And we hope to bring you guys with us someday so that we'd be able to share with you our joys of exploring our beautiful country!
Y muchas gracias por orar por nosotros, Santa Clara de Asís. Nunca dejas de ayudarnos a disfrutar de buen tiempo. =)
God bless you all! Till our next travel!
