We just returned from 10 days in paradise (aka Hawaii and, more specifically, Honolulu).\u00a0 Among other things, the kids took surfing lessons, we saw rainbows,<\/p>\n

We also ate lovely meals (at Chef Mavro (more about that later), Town, Alan Wong\u2019s, and The Pig and the Lady amongst others), and we had shave ice (at Uncle Clay\u2019s House of Pure Aloha).
\nOh, and the daughter worked on her college application essays.
\nDespite that unimportant detail, we had many days of relaxation and family time.\u00a0 There is something special about Hawaii for us.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s the beautiful scenery<\/p>\n

or the friendliness of the people or something else, but we just feel at home there.\u00a0 (Maybe it\u2019s because having hapa kids there is no big deal\u2014we get taken for locals all the time.)\u00a0 All of our trips to Hawaii have been wonderful, but this one was amazing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
