More Hawaii Highlights

We've been back from vacation for over a week now, but between unpacking, laundry, and catching up on orders/emails I haven't had a chance to go through our photos until now.  We had such a great time in Hawaii and are already trying to figure out how soon we can return. Coming back to the cold and rainy weather in Utah has been a bit depressing!

These photos are from our time on Oahu. We had an awesome time there, but Big Island will probably always be our favorite...

Hawaii Highlights...So Far

Wow.  What an amazing vacation we've had so far!  Being away from Hawaii this past year helped me to see it's beauty with new eyes.  The beaches, flowers, sunsets, weather...it's all truly breathtaking.  I thought I'd share a few photos of what we've been up to so far.

Watched the sun set over the Kona coast

Introduced Lily to these cute sea turtles

 Lots of hours at the beach

Jason officially became a Doctor of Pharmacy!

I've taken a million photos so far, I'll share more when we return!

And we're off...

Leaving tomorrow morning for Hawaii and I can't wait.  I have been so homesick for the weather, the sights, sounds and even smells of our old home.  We are spending one week on the Big Island and another on Oahu.  Heaven.  But the main event is that I'll get to see my husband graduate from UH's pharmacy school.  I'm so proud!

Seattle

We are in Seattle!  I snapped these photos on Saturday during our visit to Pike Place.  We are staying right on Pike Street and it has been fun to be so close to the sites.  We have visited the Space Needle and the Seattle Aquarium and are hoping to take a ferry ride tomorrow.  What a beautiful city this is!

On Vacation

We are in California!  We have been having a wonderful time soaking up the warm sunshine.

I decided to keep my shop open, although any orders placed through the 10th won't be shipped until Monday the 13th.
(Unless I decide to stay here through the winter, which I am tempted to do!)

Water Lilies, Island of Kauai

We are vacationing in Poipu for a few days before heading to Utah.  This morning I went out walking and came across these pretty water lilies.  Aren't they just perfect?  I think I have an obsession with water lilies.  (And I'm quite impressed with my little point and shoot!)

Pink Bird by Heather Brown

We just picked up this print from a little art gallery in Waikiki:  

I am a Heather Brown fan and just couldn't resist this lovely piece.

We are having a wonderful vacation so far, although it's going by way too fast.  Only a few more days in busy Honolulu before heading back to Hilo town.  It better not be raining when we get back... :)
