Quick Stop at Batac Square
We were in Batac on the second day last month, with the thought of visiting the Presidential Museum. Unfortunately, it was still closed for the holidays. So we went to the plaza, parked our vehicles in front of the church, and explored the immediate surroundings.
This is the first shot I took as we strolled in the square. I didn't know then that the city hall and other government offices were just nearby.
We immediately noticed the monument farther across the street, so click!
As we walked our way to the mini park, we passed by the entrance of the Riverside Empanada Complex, known for local delicacies. It was closed, obviously, as it was just the day after the New Year.
And we finally made it across and met the man guarding the park😃
Joke aside, this is a monument of the country's former President, Ferdinand Edralin Marcos. Batac is his birthplace after all.

And so we explored the park a bit further, capturing anything that caught our eyes. Even our shadows couldn't escape, lol!

Anyway, we had a bit of fun on the slides. Oh no, we didn't use the slides ourselves; they were for kids, but we let our little boy experience it with a few rides.
Then it was time to move on to our next itinerary. But before that, we took some more photos while heading to where we parked.

We went back on the 4th, but my little boy was not permitted inside. Because it was so hot that day, we just stayed in the car while the rest of our family went in.
And this is all for today. We're out for a Thanksgiving party at the husband's auntie's.
I was thinking you were about to say you slide a little bit 😜😜😜, the pictures show how beautiful and this place is, I'm sure you had a good time, and you got beautiful shadows too.
Haha, would have loved to try if the slides were bigger, lol! Yes, we had fun, thank you :)
Well, after all that, you couldn't go in. I am very surprised they would not let children in. Isn't that what museums are for? Education. Anyway, at least you were able to spend time with family and enjoy yourself somewhat.
My bad, whenever I say "my little boy," I mean my furball (dog)😊 They allow children :)
Oops, sorry, my misunderstanding. Sometimes my brain just doesn't process well.
Hehe, it's okay. Not everyone knew my only boy is furry :)
Una ko napansin, ang initttttr haha. Pero ang sad coz Presidential Museum is sarado, uwu. Better luck next time? And the Batac Square looks nice din naman. Na enjoy din kahit mainit ay ano.
Oo sis, mainit don. It was okay naman kasi gustong-gusto ko ang mainit kesa malamig, lol!
Very nice and colorful pictures, the museum has a big space enjoy your party today 😊
