Manila 2012: Tagaytay Highlands

On one of our mini out of town trips we had an overnight in the Tagaytay Highlands. This secluded and luxurious city is located 34 miles from Manila and a great way to escape the big city hustle. The weather was so cool, clouds floated in the sky, and the humidity was light. It almost reminded me of SB. And it was so beautiful. Views were great and there was so much greenery. I would not mind returning again soon.

We stayed at a house with a great view of the Taal Lake, which is where the Taal Volacano is located.


Another one of the houses we looked at was reminiscent of a ski chalet or something in Lake Tahoe.


Brunch was at a golf club atop some mountains. We were able to enjoy so many views, including their awesome driving range.




Then we took a cable car down to another club house area.


My bro and cousin.


View from the cable car. It was so pretty but also so scary to be so high up!




Then some fun at the jungle gym area.




And one of many cousin photos.

It was such a wonderfully short retreat. Having spent time with cousins that I don't see often was a great way to recharge the batteries.
