Despite the long arduous travel it took our family to get to our final destination (total of 9 hours in the car hardly without any stops!), we found our refuge at home and enjoyed Baguio for the simple pleasures that this place brings. I'm quite sentimental because childhood holidays were always spent here.
Here are my top 5 personal family-friendly reasons why Baguio is a must local destination in the Philippines.

1. Pine Trees: Baguio is known as the "City of Pines". While many complain that forestry isn't as it used to be, we still enjoy the scent of pines around town especially in Camp John Hay. I certainly do not see this much trees in any park in Manila!

2. Fashion: Admit it, we book trips to cold places just so we can wear clothing we don't normally do in Manila! Personally, I was thrilled to dress my baby girl each day during our vacation. And I honestly think babies are less fussy in cooler climates.

3. Outdoor activities: Many things are more pleasant in Baguio weather like walking, babywearing, picnic-ing and playing. Without the sweltering heat, we can just enjoy the outdoors longer!

4. Mountain Views: Mountains are just marvelous to look at!

5. Roasted marshmallows: A great family activity by the fire. Not only does the fire warm your bodies and soothes the soul, it also roasts your marshmallows for an after-dinner treat! It isn't healthy, but we break the rules, sometimes :)
