A Different Island Vacation

Jim & Danielle came out for a visit that took us to Orcas Island. The weather a little different than Maui as it rained like cats and dogs much of the time, but also broke apart and gave us some welcomed sunshine and nifty fog that clung to the Sound. Naturally, we got a few days of power shopping and dining under our belts in Seattle before setting sail to the Island. What a great, easy going time we had!

Paradise Found

Seattle has been terribly unforgiving this year and hasn't produced anything that resembles summer. So off we went to Maui in search of sun and warmth. Luckily we found exactly what we were looking for! Taking advantage of a great airfare and off-season rates we stayed for a week in a nice little condo right on the beach in Kehei, Maui. We happily spent mornings and evenings on our lanai watching sunrises and sunsets and long lazy days at the beach. We did drag ourselves off the beach a few times for some sailing and paddle boarding.

It's a good thing we got our year's dose of vitamin D, since we returned to rain and temps in the mid-50's. What a homecoming. It's a good thing we have a trip to Austin coming up in October to keep our spirits up.
