Our Simple Lunch Day by the Sea 🏖️

"To escape and sit quietly on the beach—that's my idea of paradise" — Emilia Wickstead.

We had the best time at the beach ❗

The kids were so excited, and I love how happy they are near the water.

The place was calm and relaxing.

It felt so good to just sit and enjoy the fresh air.

There is a beautiful calachuchi tree right at the beachfront.

It has lovely flowers that look and smell so nice.

It was the perfect spot to relax under the shade.

For our lunch, we had a delicious feast 😋

Sinigang na Isda 🐟

This hot, sour soup was perfect for the warm weather. 😁

Inihaw na Bangus 🐠

The grilled milkfish was so tasty and fresh, just like the crisp cucumber slices 🥒

The atsara, or the pickled green papaya, was also tasty.

Sotanghon Guisado

These savory glass noodles were a big hit with everyone.

Even the kids love the soft texture and the savory sauce with bits of vegetables and chicken

While we enjoyed the food, my nieces were busy having fun.

They spent a long time playing with the sand.

Seeing them dig and build things in the sand made the day even more special.

It was a simple but wonderful day. I am already looking forward to our next trip 😊
