great photos! love the highway photo! how i wish i was there right now! so cold up here

• Thanks, Arlene

I like how the shots take us on the round trip. The last one is very festive. I hope you have a great week.

• Thanks, Carver. The last one are Christmas lights sold along road side stores.

What a nice adventure. The display at the bottom sure does contrast with the serene view at the top!

God bless.

• We always do this when we go to my parents home, can’t stay overnight, no one to mind the house. Thanks, Sandy

cool! looks like you went somewhere north?
have a happy start of the week!

• Yep, Zambales, my hometown. Thanks Maiylah

Those are some awesome lights! So festive. I’m excited for Christmas…only a month away…yay!

I just posted my first weekend snapshot!

• These are just some of those “simple” lights, Natalie. Wasn’t able to get photos of those Christmas lanterns with many colors. Thanks

a long trip home…. I hope your family have an enjoyable trip.
enjoy the rest of the week
regards
MM

• Tiring,yes, but it was enjoyable. Thanks, MM

Hi Julie, very nice pics…I wonder how you can still take some time out from your busy schedules. Me, I haven’t done a nice post since I’m so busy with the new business venture….I really missed my blogger-friends like you and blog hopping as well. I expect to see you when the shop opens up (soon, I hope).TC.

• Wenchie, we got the kids na. We still hope to go back before Christmas if the sked permits but if not, during my school’s Grand Alumni Homecoming na lang after Christmas.  Thanks

Nice yung Xmas lights in different shapes. They look good taken together.

• Yes, Lynn, those lights look nice. I just hope those are safe. Thanks

Hope you had a lovely trip to Zambales. Last time I’ve been there, I was still in grade school.

I love seeing bright and colorful parols lighted at night.

BTW, I have an award for you.

• We did have a nice trip. Budget was compromised when we dropped by Subic, The lights are nice, Rachel, I just hope these are safe to use.  Thanks.

what an exciting trip!

have a wonderful week teacher julie!

• It was a fun trip, Joanne. Thanks

Great photos Julie! I wish my husband would stop the car for me too, when we go on road trips. He hates stopping so I have to take the photos with the car moving, a recipe for photo disasters.

• Oh he does stop when I ask him, depending on the place if its ok to do so. Thanks, Megamom

Zambales, cradle of my guy, RM. But how can you remember? Who is from there? It is quite a long way by bus, huh.

I love your photos. Reminds me hindi na paaawat si Christmas. Ay naku.

• You’re right, I don’t remember but I think their families are related with that of my great grandparents. We are from there, my parents and only sibling live there. Thanks AM

Great pictures. I bet that was a lot of driving!

• It was a lot of driving. Hubby was tired but he is used to these travels we have. Thanks, Kat

layo naman yan! ohh i love those lights! when i go home bibili ako nyan..

• Its ok even if its far, we went to visit my parents Yeah, those lights are wonderful, I just hope these are safe. Thanks, Liza

Hi Teacher Julie,
I had to convert it to 248.5 miles. So if you were traveling at 55/mph, you reached your destination after 4.5 hours or longer depending on traffic. Did you go on round trip?

I like the parols!

Beautiful shot Julie, miss ko ng mag pasko jan sa pinas.

What a long drive too.

Hi Julie, sorry for the late visit

400km a day, omg! really not for the likes of me with motion sickness..but

Glad you had a safe journey
