Steeming Community Contest|Throwback Travel Memories|My Hometown Travel Memories|by @maris75

Hello to all steemingzen! I wish all good to us here on Steem.

I would like to express my gratitude to mam @fabio2614 for creating this beautiful contest. In this way, we're able to refresh those unforgettable travel memories. It's been a while we're not able to visit my hometown specially during this time of pandemic. Looking at our pictures comforts me from missing my homeland.

I want to share to you my family's unforgettable memories during our travel vacation to my hometown in Manukan Zamboanga del Norte the place where I was born.

This is the first time for my kids to visit our hometown and the first time also boarding a ship so they were so excited. I’m also happy that they could see the place where I grew up.

Upon boarding the ship here in Cebu, no sign of weather disturbance, so we are confident that the weather would be good. But when we were in the middle of our way around pass 12 midnight, the waves starting to rough. We can't sleep well in our bed because we were worried specially our kids was with us. We were a bit nervous because we could really feel the ship was tilting. We keep on praying for our safety then. Thanks God the ship landed at the pier safe. It took 9 hours of sea travel and 2 hours land travel in order to reached to our hometown. Finally, we arrived my parent's house safely.

On the next day morning we went to my sister's farm to get some pomelo fruits. My daughter loves pomelo and she enjoyed eating it. My son also enjoyed climbing guava tree to get ripe guava fruit. He was so happy to find a ripe one.

I let them experienced also my kind of favorite snacks and a favorite game when I was a kid. Eating young coconut or we called it "butong" was my favorite snack. I knew how to climb the coconut tree just to get a fruit to eat. My kids satisfied eating "butong" as much as they could.

Sliding while riding in a coconut palm leave was my game before. When I let my kids to experienced it, I'm glad they enjoyed it too.

I wish to let them rode this carabao animal but they were scared. Riding a Carabao was one of my favorite hobby during my young age. It has so much fun!

I also took them to places where I used to go like the church.

We also went to the beach and took a bath. They happily played with the waves on the beach and had so much fun together with their cousins. My husband also keep watching at them to be sure that they were safety.

It was really worthed the time we had in the province. I felt great that my kids appreciate and love it too on the lifestyle we had in my province.

Thank you so much my fellow steemians for giving your time visiting my post. I hope you like it.

I want to encourage my friend @liamnov, @jobreyes24, and @angelycong to have their entry too.

Sincerely,
@maris75
