The Hawaiians are some of the most patriotic people I have ever met.

but I miss Hawaii. Wife and I visited Honolulu for our anniversary 2 years ago. So freaking gorgeous. We keep talking about moving there. And something weird happened 9 months after we visited. We had a surprise baby boy. Crazy.

We moved here in 2016 after selling our home in Washington State. We bought a house on the Big Island for the same price and couldn't be happier. There are so many different environments on this island--no way to ever tire of all the beauty.
Great place to raise a kid--just sayin'.
