One of the many things that we enjoyed during our month-long vacation to my hometown was having some fun in the sun. My hometown, General Santos City is located by the ocean at a location known as Sarangani Bay and a lot of beach resorts are located nearby.
Hubby had been to my hometown twice before this vacation and what I missed taking him to during his first two visits was the beach. So I made sure that we went to the beach this time with the family to enjoy the sun and the sand.
This beach was new to me since I’d never visited it before I left my hometown six years ago. I first heard of this beach resort from my brother so when my family asked which beach we wanted to go to, this was the beach I chose. The name of the resort is Susan’s Beach and it is located in the town of Bawing which is about a 45 minute drive from GenSan.
After enjoying time and food with the family, we had a photo shoot with my niece, Restly, who is into photography.
Selfie time! Those are my two nieces right there, Restly and Reese. It’s always fun being with these two.
After taking photos with the hubs and I, it was our son’s turn to have his photos taken.
He can be a cover boy, don’t you think? 🙂
And then it was time for a family picture. I was laughing so hard and I think both my husband and son found it amusing.
Both the hubs and I love this photo of us so we chose it to be our new profile picture. I think my niece did good in capturing this photo of us walking on the beach. What do you think? 🙂
Just talking about that fun at the beach we had makes me want to go there again.

What a pretty spot! The only thing better than family time is family time on the beach!
I love the look of the beach. It reminds me so much of the one we live at. Lots of driftwood and boats on the horizon.
I just love being at the beach and I bet visiting the one in your hometown was extra special. All of your photos look so happy!
These are some great photos. Wonderful job! I always love to be by the beach.
I can’t believe how much your son has grown since I started reading your blog. He’s grown into a young man and I love that you were all three able to enjoy more in and around your home town.
I know, right? Time flew by so quick that he turned into a teen before I knew it. 🙂 We enjoyed it – certainly one for the books.
Awee your son is very handsome indeed! I do love your niece’s names. I love that beach. It seems so wild and natural with the rocks. I wish we lived near a beach. We are land locked in Kansas. Just some lakes.
Thank you, Joely! He sure is handsome. 🙂
It is always fun to go back to your hometown after being away. That looks like a great beach. We love to plan trips to our local beach for a fun day .
What a lovely story! How nice to be able to go home for a month’s vacation. The beach is beautiful.
Looks lovely! I haven’t been to the beach in months! Thats what happens when you are in a land locked state!!
Such a fun photo session! I love that the beach was a little overcast so it wasn’t the typical super bright photos. They turned out great!
Gosh I love the beach! I could move to the beach tomorrow and I wouldn’t be mad about it. HA! It looks like you had a great time!!

It looks like you had fun and amazing experience with your family. I love beaches we should enjoy it while summer.
This is such a pretty beach. I love the view of the water. We head to the beach at least once per week during the summer. Were going back in a few days!!

The beach looks amazing and I’m sure you had a great time there judging from the pictures. Family bonding and the moments you spend together are the most important ones.

A month long vacation sounds fabulous. And to have a nice view of the beach would just be icing on the cake. 🙂
I still haven’t been to a beach. I went to LA and was too busy to go, but it’s definitely on the list for 2017. – yolonda
