CORREGIDOR:
Best of the Islands Philippines
During the Spanish era, the island
was a fishing village replete with a lighthouse and signal station
through which all ships entering and leaving Manila Bay had to
stop, thus earning it the name "Corregidor" which means
"corrector."
When the Americans came, a hospital
was built for wounded soldiers. In 1906, because of the strategic
importance of Manila and the Bay, the Americans built a full-scale
fortification on the island, equipping it with long-ranged and
tractor-drawn guns, minefields and anti-aircraft guns.

Build your own Sandbox
Kids of all ages love to play in the sand. It can be a construction site, made into a sand
castle or add water for a muddy mess. It is easy and inexpensive to build a sandbox in
your own back yard to enjoy for the entire summer.
When you are deciding where to put your sandbox try and find a location that gets a lot of
shade throughout the day. When the sun is hot, and the kids still want to be outside this
will be a great activity for them if it is out of the sun. Build your own Sandbox Motivational & Inspirational Quotes:
Wherever you go, go with all your heart. Confucius
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. Saint Augustine
