Paradise

This was my view for a week of my life.

When planning for our Hawaii trip back in April, I felt like the trip would never happen.  Now it has come and gone, along with my tan, as it is slowly peeling off.  We spent most of our time soaking in the rays and taking in the gorgeous beaches Hawaii has to offer.  We loved the change from our beaches, and actually preferred running into the water just so we could cool off (something that would never happen on the Oregon coast).  I indulged in more Gelato than I have ever done in my life and felt like a grandma going to bed around 9 o'clock.  I guess relaxing all day really took a lot of energy out of me :)  I am happy I ended the summer with this and oddly enough, I am happy to be done with my travels for awhile.  There's just no place like home, right?
