Well, Hawaii was magical per usual.

Warm winds and warm water feel so good in the dead of winter.

Dash got to hang tough with his cousins this year which was awesome.

Happy 10th to our dude Dash!

Hanging at the Pipe is always awesome.

Miss this!  Someday I sure would love to spend at least half the year in the tropics.

Mid winter reprieve

What a treat getting over to the islands and seeing my folks, feeling warmth, hearing the birds and de-thawing.

Islands 2

Looking at these pics sitting here in snow country makes me wish we were still there!

Chels, out looking for turtles at sunrise.

It was a darn rainy stretch when we were there but...., the sun came out and when it did, damn it was nice.  

Following in his grandpa's footsteps.  

The green.  The warmth.  Two things that are void in this part of the world right now.  

This was a new hike to us.  We dug it. 

Our fearless leader.

Koi fish and pajamas.  

Last day hike before getting on a red eye.  

 

Love these guys.
