It's an island thing~

I just realized that I have been traveling to all sorts of different islands this year. It wasn't planned. I feel grateful, happy and a little bit spoiled. Ok, a lot spoiled!

This is the vacation we planned before our impromptu trip to Oahu. We have been to Orcas Island before, about 4 years ago. It is a quaint little island in the San Juan Island chain in the Pacific Northwest. The sun set last night at around 10:30PM and fireworks aren't scheduled till 10:15. All of the is seems fine but sunrise came early this morning. I woke with the light at 6 AM. How I wanted to sleep in.

I took a walk this morning to a little cafe for a cup of great coffee at Enzo's. Along the way I saw all these pretty flowers.

Today we are planning a little trip to a lake and perhaps a hike as well. 

Enjoy your day and holiday with friends and family

A working vacation ~ really. 

The computer guru in our family has to work so he brought along his support crew.

We enjoyed a burger at Teddy's and traveled along the Kane'hoe Bay at sunset. 

Such a change from the city we live in. 

The air here is clean and soft, the scenery is green and lush, it is perfumed with the scents of the tropical flowers and chickens roam free. Perfect relaxation ~

Aloha to all
