Vacations are great. Ever since Tracy and I first started dating, she showed me the importance of taking a vacation and the need to just leave the daily grind once in awhile.

We had a wonderful time and I met many of her aunts, uncles, and cousins for the first time. Here are a few from that trip to the following islands: Bohol, Cebu, and Luzon (Manila/Ayala Alabang):

Love the vibrant colors and looks like an amazing trip.

You all know the self-portrait shots that we all like to post on Facebook – where you just see some forearm and ALL FACE! Like this photograph below that was taken in 2009 during our visit to the Philippines. […]
