I hope you are having a great summer! I find myself knee-deep in deadlines this summer, but it’s all in good fun! I did get a chance to travel with my family to Hawaii last month so I thought I would share highlights of that with you. This was my third trip and I have to say, it is my favorite place to go. (So if any of you out there want me to come teach a quilting class in Hawaii – the answer is YES!)
The Watsons do Hawaii
And as to why I labeled this one of my soapbox posts – I implore you to take a break every now and then and have some fun – no excuses!!
We did the obligatory ziplining through the jungle and it was SO much fun! Of course, since I was the one taking most of the pictures, I’m not actually in many of them. :-)
I love this shot of my daughter and my husband – everything is so GREEN!
We are a pretty active family, so we like to do fun outdoorsy things like hiking, kayaking and exploring. For this trip, we stayed on the island of Kauai which is definitely my favorite of all the islands we have visited so far.
The view from our hike along the Napoli Coast. Looks like something from a movie, right?
We just couldn’t get over how green the trees were and how crystal blue the water was. Just looking at these pictures makes me long to go back.
Hawaiian Shave Ice – an island tradition!
By far, our favorite treat was Hawaiian Shave Ice, which we got nearly every day. We learned that it’s called “shave ice” not “shaved ice.” And it was pretty delicious, with a scoop of ice cream in the mix.
We had such a great time that we are already discussing when we can go again. It really is as beautiful place as it looks and I can’t wait to return.
What’s your favorite vacation spot?
