Travels

We made it safe and sound to Puerto Vallarta! I knew at the back of my mind it was a risk and the baby could come at any time during my journey, but I tried to stay relaxed and the journey was relatively easy. I still can’t get over how beautiful this place is. It…

Yesterday we went on a little surf adventure and headed South from Puerto Vallarta. We took the narrow, windy Mexi 200 South through the luscious green mountains of Jalisco. After about an hour or so, we found a dirt road supposedly leading to the beach. We turned right and followed it for another half hour.…

August has arrived and Summer seems to be wrapping up around our little island. The days are getting shorter. Kids are starting to start school back up. It almost never even felt like summer now that I work a 9 to 5. But we made it to the beach as much as possible, and I…

 We took a short summer trip to Mexico to surf, relax, and check out a water birthing center in Puerto Vallarta. We left the grommies behind for this trip which was actually pretty hard and I’m not sure I’ll be doing that again for a while! It had been almost a year since I last spent…

I couldn’t visit Oahu without taking a little walk on one of my favorite trails, Maunawili Falls. It’s an easy hike on the East Side leading to a watering hole and nice little waterfall to jump from. So many beautiful things to see and hear and smell and feel. I got there early and walked it barefoot and…

It’s Aloha Friday! I thought I’d share more Hawaii pics. Kaiwa Ridge Trail is a fun little hike on the East Side of Oahu overlooking Lanikai. On my last trip to the islands I took a nice solo barefoot hike up there to watch the sunrise. Here are few things I saw…                  

Last September Ryan and I took a little surf trip to Guerrero, Mexico. It was my first time in the state since I was a kid. I was instantly reminded of why I had always dreamed of moving down to Mexico and opening a little surf hotel. The weather is gorgeous, the beaches are empty…

On 4/20/2016, I attended the most beautiful wedding (and also the first wedding in my adulthood that I’ve ever attended). It was on North Shore, Oahu for two friends I met while living there. Pictures from that day popped up on my Facebook “On this Day” Feed, and I just had to share since I…

This winter I spent a few days in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. I was in much need of a vacation, and some warm tropical, waves. I traveled alone, the first time being so far from my babies. I missed them so much, but the trip was exactly what I needed to refresh my mind and heart.…
