I'm So Excited!.......June 15, 2012

Leaving one coastline to go to another in roughly 48 hours with part of the family, I can harldy wait.  I love the Oregon coast and all of the memories with the family. 
Newport here we come.

Beach Day June 2012

A trip to the North shore wouldn't be complete without a stop here.  But we just shared one this time. Then we went to Dole and shared a Dole whip as well.

For our family it also includes Ray Chicken in Haleiwa


Kerry always takes pictures of me while we are in the water so I decided it was time to turn the table on him.  He snorkled a little while I played in the waves.

Don't you just love the grin on his face?  I do!!!
The night before we went to the beach Kerry picked up the car we rented for the weekend and we went to check out the newest Safeway in Honolulu.  Because of the limited space to build they put the store directly above the parking lot.  Many of us were intrigued to watch how they handled the carts, kind of Jetsons at the grocery store kind of a feeling.I couldn't resist recording it.

This was our wheels for the weekend.

Favorite sights on the Island

 I love to go to the beach in the evenings and watch the sunset, as well as other things that you might see along the way.
 Almost every time I come there is some kind of celebration and parade along Waikiki.  This is the second time I have been here for the Pan Asian festival..
You will often see these this type of activity as couples come for the sunset shots.
 Of course this is one of the reasons why I like to be there with Kerry.  It is just so beautiful even though the sunset pictures in the winter are almost always even more spectacular.
It wouldn't be Paradise without these and the nice breeze they allow to cool you!!!
I love this view from the Pali Highway and this side of the Island.
It seems every time I come I see a different tree that captures my awe.  Usually the shower trees are my favorite but they are not if full bloom yet where this type of tree cast a fiery glow all over the Island.
Of course I love this walkway especially when the trade winds are blowing.  I wasn't able to walk as much as I have in the past and that has been quite discouraging but the times I was here were great.

Happy Birthday Natalie

Happy Birthday to my sweet Natalie.  I love this picture because of the smile on her face and because she is doing so well with her sewing skills.  She made this darling little dress for her darling little Olivia.  I love you Natalie you are such a blessing in my life!

At the end of the day...

So simple, but why is it so hard?  More courage needed for sure!
