A little older, a little colder

Aloha! Our trip to Hawaii was awesome! We started off our vacation surprising my Dad on the Big Island for his 60th(!) birthday, stayed there for 3 days, then Brian and I headed to Kuaui for 5 days on our own. It's the first vacation we've taken alone together since our honeymoon (aside from long weekends). It was great.

Thanks to all who sent birthday wishes - via phone, email or card - all good thoughts are appreciated. Our mail was delivered today, so it was really nice to come home to a big stack of cards after a long day back at the office! :)

Here are a few pictures for now. Enjoy, and mahalo for reading!
