Part 1-Soccer
I drove up to Whidbey Island today to spend some time with Becky's family, but the main reason I came up TODAY was see one of Lukas' soccer games. So I arrived on time and we drove out to the school yard where the soccer game was to be played. And the other team never arrived. There was some confusion about the schedule and they weren't coming. So, no soccer game. I hadn't expected the World Cup, but this was a bit of a disappointment. For me. The kids, 5 year olds, they didn't really notice, except one boy who was upset because he didn't get his treat.
Part 2-Filipino Food
Becky had told me that there was a new filipino restaurant in Oak Harbor, so we went there. The place is called Tura Tura Island, and the food was great. The waitresses were wearing T-shirts that said "Got Lumpia?" and that was enough for me. We started with lumpia, and then had pancit, bbq chicken, chicken adobo and lechon pork. All very good. There was Halo-Halo on the menu for dessert, but we were all too full!
Part 3-The Beach
Then we went to the beach. It was a beautiful day, mild temperatures, sunny, days that don't happen in May in Washington. The kids found water to play in and Emelia kinda tried to make a sand castle. Lukas got very wet. Zack was just pleased with himself for no clear reason. It was nice and warm and fun. No Boracay, but pretty good!

Oh! My! Pancit and chicken adobo! Now I'm thinking about making a trip to Whidbey Island too. And if they have good lumpia too, I'm sure to be a regular.
looks like fun and i so miss good Filipino food! i know where i need to go my next visit to the island. i am glad you are feeling better! you'll have to come to oly soon.
p.s check my facebook page we went to a neat little sculpture park not too far from here. not as cool as the one we went to in Taiwan, but it is free and had some neat stuff!
Ray and Susan, I knew that would get your attention. Yes, the lumpia was good, the pancit was quite good and the adobo was very good. All in all, it was a very pleasant meal and quite a revelation to find on Whidbey.
