I have so many thoughts about our Hawaii trip, and getting all the words I have to say about it out will take hours. Here’s the summary. There was more rain and overcast days than we were expecting. But it felt so liberating to wear shorts and flip-flops and the scenery was so stunning we were thrilled regardless of our missed expectations. I’ve had the privilege of traveling quite a bit, and Hawaii is probably the most naturally beautiful place I have ever been. I have more to say, but for now, here’s some pictures. Note that both Jeannine and I took these, so this isn’t just my shots.

It rained almost every day, but the rains were light and pretty short in duration. I meant that we saw rainbows all the time.
