An Ocean of Happiness

We hope our holiday card finds you well. Because we can all use a good smile these days, we thought we’d share some “behind-the-scenes” photos. We wish you an ocean of happiness and a blissful new year!

Embracing Our ‘Ohana

Sending our love to the wonderful people of Maui and Hawai’i as they recover from catastrophic wildfires. If you’d like to do something to help, we encourage you to consider donating to the Maui Strong Fund from the Hawai’i Community Foundation. Mahalo.

Seascape or Ski-scape?

We both wanted to get away for New Year’s to take a break and recharge our batteries. But as usual, we had a hard time deciding which way to go – ocean or mountains? In the end, we decided to do both!

The warmth of the sun was calling my name, so Oahu, Hawai’i was my choice for our New Year's vacation. We enjoyed epic sunrises and sunsets, tropical plants, soothing ocean waters, Mai Tais, chocolate, pineapple, shaved ice, seafood — yes, lots of fresh seafood — and of course, turtles! That’s not to mention some of the friendliest people on the planet. Everyone you meet smiles back at you. It’s like a daily mood boost without meditation!

I prefer a winter wonderland escape, so after our island getaway, it was off to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for snowboarding, snowmobiling, and mingling with wildlife (elk, bighorn sheep, bison, eagle, and swans were just a few that we spotted). And of course, we had to take a dip in the famous hot springs. With breathtaking nature like the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park surrounding you, it’s a colorful cultural experience like no other!
