Hello My Dear Precious Friends!!!
Hope and heartiest pray that everything is going fine and smooth in your Beautiful lives ,and you are choosing the all colors very carefully and brilliantly to make your portrait of life more pretty and reasonable .As i truly believe that each of us is blessed with the unique art to make life beautiful ,useful ,and productive .
If we keep any doubt about it it is just the faithlessness and nothing else because our creator is BEST doer of justice and he cannot do injustice to anyone .
All we need is to ponder upon it .,to step into our insidious world and look very carefully for the skills hidden under the lazy cover of ignorance . When we find it we have to polish it, and use it to make our personality bright ,confident and positive for ourselves and for the world around us .
Dear friends today i am sharing some photos again from our summer vacation trip to my native area near capital city [Islamabad] of our country [Pakistan] .We went to Murree a hill station which remains crowded during the whole year .But this year it was fasting month during vacations when we visited there and to be honest i loved being among less crowed because it is not much extended and main shopping and food street stay packed with visitors and i finds even walk among so many people really bad idea as i am person of solitude or feel nice among less . We also visited mall where our eldest son took us to lunch which was nontraditional and quite difficult to swallow for me though kids loved it .
Murree was founded as British sanatorium in 1851.Town of muree was built in 1853.
Many prominent Englishmen were born in this town .After the formation of Pakistan it became a popular hill station for Islamabad and Rawalpindi inhabitants due to it's natural marvelous views and outstanding weather.[ Image source google]
Visitors from all over the country including foreigners come here to enjoy and nights are for walk ,chat and food here instead of sleeping .this is the view of famous shopping and food street called Mall Road where during night people walk all night even in Ramadan no body go to it's hotel room until the dawn.[image source google]
We used to enjoy amazing views from chairlifts whenever we visit there but this summer chair lifts were closed for maintenance which is the part of preparation for biggest yearly festival Eid that come at the end of fasting month.[image source google]
We took long walk from Mall road to Kashmir point and enjoyed the views and weather while chat and taking snaps ! All roads had huge high trees on both sides and decorations of flowers alongside roads were treat to eyes!
Me and my son took many shots of these beautiful flowers .
I took this shot from the train station .That trains give visitors a very beautiful round of hills and views through this are captivating! i already share photos of this train in one of my earlier post .
Due to much snow fall in winters roofs of houses are slope .
Fog ruled there and environment seemed so calm and peaceful to mind and soul!
I took this photo from the window of the hotel where we stayed,you can see the hills through the fog so many houses laying randomly in the lap of hills down!
Here my sons started the race which won of course the youngest one [who else can dare to make him loose as he is dearest to his bros !
A restaurant 's area which was closed ,a naughty pause for photo !
Here my hubby asked us to sit and have tea which we took along for ourselves.
We visited to a shopping mall in Islamabad called centaurus .
It had 36 floors .
We had coffee and kids had pizza here .
He loves pizza !
Kids enjoyed many games too.
After watching movie our son took us to restaurant where he wanted us to check out his type of food!
oops i don't know what names he told me while reading menu .
I can see rice ,vegies chicken and cheese here .
Cheese is everywhere omg what to do ? but i finished my dish and told my son few days later that cheese was hard to swallow specially melted one and he laughed lot and said mom you should have told me this we could order something else .
Dear friends hope you enjoyed this visit with us .
We are having still snow in area which is not much far from us and that is temperature is still below centigrade .
Hope you are having bearable climate in your area ,though we all have to bear the all kinds of moods of nature.
Please take great care ,stay happy and positive for yourself and people around you !
Big Hugs and best wishes for all of you friends!
God Bless You All!

These are beautiful pictures of great looking places. You also have a wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteIt is winter here in New York also. It has been mostly mid though. Warmer weather will come :)
Hello Baili, I really enjoyed your travel diary and the pictures are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteHello Baili - yes, you're right we do have to bear all kinds of moods of nature! For sure! We have heat here in SE Gippsland, but not as hot as further north.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your post with all those scenic photos. You and and your family looked to be having a lovely holiday. I had a little chuckle at your reaction to not being able to eat melted cheese... one of my favourite snacks is a toasted sandwich with cheese, tomato and onion :D) We are all different though and our cuisine, cultures and tastes differ so much around the world don't they. That's why it's always so interesting to read about them. I must look and see if you have posted about the type of food you prefer as I'm only a new visitor.
Bye for now :D)
Dear Sue thank so much for such kind and detailed response it is great pleasure for me as you read me with such love and care !!!
DeleteIt was my first time but my son got used to it as he is living in big city from almost 7 years and eating out .
Since childhood I hated milk .mom used to scolef me for this n force me to have a glass every night.
Cheese is heaviest form of this and I found it hard to eat.
Yes all parts of lamd even provences of same country differ in food and culture.
I will definitely share with you my friend all kinds of dishes we eat here and I am working on it.
Olá Baili! Gostei muito das fotografias da sua viagem e de ver a famÃlia bonita que você tem. Obrigada por partilhar.
ReplyDeleteUma semana Abençoada.
Beijos.
Baili, you are so right that we each paint our own portrait of life. I love that image.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing you and your family. The men in your life are handsome and so full of life. You are fortunate. Your life portrait is beautiful.
oh, i just love seeing a glimpse of your life!
ReplyDeletethese photos are just lovely and i especially liked the one of the chairlifts.
also, that burger made me so hungry!
much love to you..be blessed!
Thanks for sharing these interesting photos, your reaction to the food is funny, it is so different from what you are used to!
ReplyDeleteyou got me Christine !
Deletemy reaction to this food was like 'oops!!!???
but i controlled my emotions as i really wanted to try what my son likes.
though it was like a kid got a new toy which he does not know how to play with !
soon i will share our daily traditional meals and you will be able to understand my confusion .
Wonderful post, sweet family photographs and I once had great difficulty swallowing the melted mozzarella cheese on a pizza. I have never been able to eat it since. Thank you very much for visiting me and I wish you a very happy week.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post, dear friend, and pizza is very popular! Your photos are beautiful and I really enjoyed this lovely tour. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteyour photos are very interesting and different from European..
ReplyDeleteLovely post dear! Have a great week! xx
ReplyDeleteYou guys really know how to have fun!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured some lovely photos of your visit and your family.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the cheese. I have to confess I end up with dish with cheese like that, I scrape it off and leave it to the side of the plate.
Thank you friend!
Deletei can understand but i could not scrapped it front of my son though i wanted to do it so much.
actually we all are bound to our life style ,culture and food we eat since beginning so when we suddenly encounter to something completely unfamiliar we get shock .
but one reason of such reaction was also my dis likening of milk and all dairy products .
What beautiful scenery! Looks like everyone had fun!
ReplyDeleteThere is some much beauty there. I think I would take a million photos if I ever visited! It's always nice to spend time with the family; best thing in the world.
ReplyDeleteAnd a shopping mall with 36 floors?! OHMYGOSH!
thank you dear friend! here i am too so addicted with taking so so many photos during such journeys and sometime my hubby get upset when they had to stop after moment because of my photography .
DeleteI really love life and everything related to it and always want to capture the beauty of surroundings in my camera .
I love seeing your pictures and hearing the details of your life, baili. Many things are similar to here and many others are very different. Your mall looks just like the malls in our large cities, and the food that is strange to you is "normal" to us. The large trees and baskets of flowers are similar to what you might see here in a forested park on a hill.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful altogether!
Wonderful photos I thoroughly enjoyed to see what you see - and your family, so special.
ReplyDeleteOh, I truly enjoyed the beautiful scenery of your country for the first time through your photos♫♫♫ And sweet family time♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteSending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*
Such beautiful pictures. Nice to see you and your family. I can't imagine shopping in a mall with 36 floors. That's amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely post, it's so nice to see photo's of your family.
ReplyDeleteThe scenery looked lovely too.
I just can't image a shopping mall with 36 floors, I think the most floors I have seen is about six!
All the best Jan
thank you dear Jan!
Deletethis wonderful shopping mall is in the Islamabad the capital city of our country and can be seen from far hill tops clearly .Before writing about it i wanted to be sure about floors so i googled and found out the exact number of it's floor is 36 .
Wow! What a beautiful family and photos! Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

Such beautiful pictures. It looks like paradise in the mountains. I also love the fog...unless I have to drive in it. Then, not so much!
ReplyDeleteNice place! Great photos! Greetings!:))
ReplyDeletexxBasia
What a joy to visit your wonderful family, and beautiful area. I hope to visit your blog many times!
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed seeing through your perspective. It looks like a beautiful place...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of every time of day - and both city and country scenes! Your sons are very handsome!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of a lovely time for your family. I enjoyed the pictures, as well as your write-up.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and such pretty places. I cannot imagine a shopping mall with that many floors! You have a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely family and it was a joy to see all of you having fun!! I am always amazed after reading one of your posts, Baili, that we have so much in common! ;-D
ReplyDeleteJane xxx
I so much enjoyed your post, it looks like you had a lovely time visiting with your son. Wow that street with all the flowers was just beautiful, made for a lovely walk. My husband loves to take pictures of fog, he says there is a mystery about it. I have never heard of a mall with 36 floors, that seems like it would be overwhelming, but I can imagine the boys really enjoyed all the fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Good morning, beautiful photos! I appreciate your kind comment at my blog. Your trip sounds as thought everyone had a very enjoyable time. Sometime I don't like cheese because it is hard to swallow when it is melted. some cheese becomes so stringy too. But on a positive note your food looked very delicious. It appears that you are surrounded by many beautiful loved ones as well. Have a wonderful weekend. The days move quickly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Baili! The landscape is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog.
Boa tarde, fotos lindas e perfeitas, sempre tive curiosidade pela cidade Islamabad, um dia vou visitar a mesma, suas ferias foram maravilhosas certamente.
ReplyDeleteAG
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am going to enjoy yours, I can tell. What a beautiful place to live!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Baili, I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful scenes here and your lovely family. The terraced hillsides are wonderful and that mall with the 36 floors is amazing! It seems that you all had a very good time, too. Thank you for taking us along! xx Karen
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the wonderful photographs of your trip. The scenery is beautiful and your family look so relaxed and enjoying themselves.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei enjoyed seeing your family photos (and you) and reading about your vacation. i love cheese, but you have to develop a technique for swallowing it once it has melted!!
ReplyDeletei can't even imagine a mall with 36 floors, wow, it would take several days i would imagine to visit all those stores. beautiful outdoor scenery and flowers!!
i enjoyed reading your opening paragraph, it inspired me!!!
Gorgeous pictures, you have such a beautiful family! Sending much love.xo
ReplyDeleteLaura xo
Beautiful scenery and lovely family photos. Enjoy and have fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy hug to you Baili. Thank you for taking me along with your trip through photos...
ReplyDeleteCute boys, loving parents and lovely family.And pretty pictures too.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the photos of your summer vacation with your handsome husband and son, Baili. Rawalpindi stayed in my mind after reading "The Jewel in the Crown" by Paul Scott, and it's wonderful to see photos of the storied Hill Country. I would be overwhelmed by a shopping mall with 36 stories. That photo made me dizzy! You're so right! We have to nurture our best selves and make the most of the amazing gift of life from our Creator. Have a lovely weekend, my special friend! Sending you love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all your photos from your travels! I was laughing about the cheese too! LOL! I really enjoyed all the photos! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family...and I enjoyed your photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a glimpse into your beautiful part of the world so far away from us! You have a beautiful family and the photos are all amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
You are having snow and we are in a heat wave! I have really enjoyed seeing your photos of your vacation.
