Happy

We leave tomorrow. Back home. Back to work. Back to school.

The week away has flown past quickly. With the phone on silent mode, no television, and limited internet connectivity, I felt at times disconnected from the rest of the world. But it gave us time to do other things, to find pleasure in the simple things, and to enjoy the limited time together as a family.

Here are some of the things we've been doing this week:

Exploring this chain of interconnected islands by road. Singing out loud while driving along the tree-lined roads.


Some, like this one, are separate, but easily accessible. During low tide, you can simply just walk across the shallow waters to the next island.


Making footprints on the sand.

Watching the waves crashing onto the shore.

Going fishing.

Picnicking under the trees.

Teaching Em and Hero the names of the local plants and flowers.

Enjoying beautiful sunsets.
