a visit to the 50th state

Just got back from a few days with the 'rents in Hawaii.  It was wonderful to spend time with Mar and Jer, get in the saltwater, see the fishes, wear flip-flops and sunglasses everyday, sip fruity drinks under the hot sun, and even play a round of golf where I lost to my pops by only one stroke.  Ahhh, the tropics - my ghostly-white and nearly-transparent Seattle skin could barely take it...I wore SPF 55 the whole time!  Loved it.
