Home for the Holidays: Seattle

We packed our bags for a month-long holiday extravaganza back home, and headed off-island for our first stop...Seattle!

 We've got a stowaway!

 Chillin' at the Honolulu airport at 3:00 am...

Majuro to North Carolina!

Kylie and I tagged along with Autumn to DC for some training and a quick family vacation. After 24+ hours of traveling, we made it to Virginia! The first day was a whirlwind of buying warm clothes for the trip and catching up with V&S. The next morning we drove through Shenendoah down to the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina (a state that I love more each time we visit). It was a long drive, but totally worth it for the beautiful fall foliage! After being in Majuro, everything seemed HUGE! I'm pretty sure that the Capitol Beltway is bigger (and wider) than the whole island!

 Cupcakes with V&S!

 If there's a carousel, Kylie will find it!

No matter how tiny!

Stopping in to the Southern Inn for some southern food!

First glimpses of fall foliage

 

Say family vay-cay!

Arts & Crafts & Fish!

Kylie and I have been gearing up for the holiday season and getting ready for the Jambo Arts Exhibition, birthdays, and upcoming trips! Needless to say, we still get in plenty of lagoon time!

 Painting in progress

 Say *heart*

 Happy Birthday Autumn!

It's the start of the holiday season, you know!

 Sometimes the palette looks as good as the painting!

Happy Birthday Kylie

I can't believe our little baby is turning three today!

 Can I open my presents now?

 Carmel apple cupcakes!

 Hooray!

 Time to make a wish...

P-R-E-S-E-N-T-S-!
