I know when I am MIA for a few weeks the usual assumption is that nothing big is going on, nothing to update. The last few weeks have been a bit of an exception.
Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my great friend Andy last week. Not a normal goodbye, because she is not a normal person! She is an extraordinary friend to many and since her husband is a bit of a big shot...there was LOTS and LOTS of fanfare.
It was a parties, dinners, gatherings, limos, penthouses, canon shooting, bells ringing, saluting, pedicures, laughter and tears kind of time. We all had a great week of celebrating their service but I must say, the following week was a bit melancholy as we adjusted to regular old life again.
Nothing helps to push the melancholy away like a catamaran ride and a few dolphins!
Sometimes I take a photo of him just to prove that he was there! To say he has been putting in some hours as of late would be like saying the water in Hawaii is kinda blue!
So we saw a few dolphins...
Just a few...
And maybe a turtle
Swimming so close that the kids were jumping off to swim with him.
My favorite shot of the day, "Two Sea Captains on a Boat"
Seems like you can always find a local who wants to share his love of Hawaii!
And why not. There is a lot to love. We had an amazing morning. Of course we all jumped in and swam with the dolphins for a long time. They swam just below us in pods for about an hour. Big ones, little ones, playing, spinning, and talking! Too bad I don't have an underwater camera but I do have a lot of shots to share, slideshow to come.
Oh yeah, then we got home, showered and changed quickly and walked across the street to catch the last quarter of the Pro Bowl game.
Because we can.
