The whole Sia family was complete this summer and what better way to spend it than do a series of jaunts or journeys. The highlight of all was a 3-day Negros trip. 

We started the first leg with an overnight stay at Sipalay City, drove along the shore line towards Dumaguete City, then spent our last day driving along the hills and mountains of San Carlos City to Don Salvador Benedicto on our way back to Bacolod City. From endless fields of sugarcane we were welcomed by rice plains and crystal clear beaches along the roads of Negros Oriental, and were in awe of the mountain features on our way back. From the city to the sands, from the sands to the mountains. It was an adventure to remember though I wish we had more time to immerse in the different cities and places that we've stayed at during the course of the trip.

We left the Bacolod around 4:30 in the morning then arrived at Sipalay City after four hours. I'm really not good with remembering the specifics of our trip because I was not too involved with the planning (also can't remember all the cities and municipalities we've passed by the entire journey because I'm not too familiar with the Negros Island) but I know that we stayed at Punta Ballo and among a stretch of different resorts along the beach line, we stayed at a cozy resort at the top of the hill. I believe that among the others, Nataasan Beach Resort gave us a perfect view of the beach. Forget about tiptoeing your way from your villa to the beach. For a more relaxing holiday, seeing the deep blue waters from a height and feeling the cool ocean breeze, it was just perfect.

Jonshu with Caileigh. Both acting crazy after having fast food. Just typical toddlers.
