Smile!

The weather guy said on the news this morning that today is going to be the best day of this summer. And what will I be doing? I’ll be having my wisdom teeth pulled. As you can probably tell, I’m not very excited. I’m about to take some pretty powerful drugs in the next hour…

Honeymoon – Hapuna and Pololu

After an excellent dinner at Subway the night before, we headed out to explore the world outside of “fantasy Island”. We had learned that a mere ten minutes down the road was Hapuna Beach, which is rated as the 3rd nicest beach in the world. I don’t remember exactly who rated it as such, but…
