Postcard from Hawaii

Dear Kids,

Aloha from beautiful Hawaii! I know that you're all bitter about not getting to come on this trip, but keep in mind that under Hawaiian law, you would have had to have been in quarantine for at least 30 days before you could go snorkeling with us. And don't forget, I hear they used to make animal sacrifices to the volcano here so, maybe you're better off at home.


Our trip has been wonderful, we saw the volcanoes, went kayaking and did lots and lots of snorkeling. We saw a sea turtle every time we went, which was amazing, and then we went to a black sand beach where the turtles came right up to the shore. It was great to see them up close, but of course the idiot tourists were all scampering around on the rocks trying to touch them, even though the signs clearly encouraged otherwise.

Truth be told, the Man may have been less than 15 feet away from that turtle for purely photographic purposes, but I only yelled at him a little.

Anyway, we miss you all very much and hope you are behaving yourselves. Lucy, I hear that Cousin Lola ate your conehead, I hope you didn't put her up to it. And kitties, I don't want to see any empty vodka bottles lying around outside when I pull up to the house on Tuesday. For God's sake, at least clean up after yourselves this time.

Love,

The Lady & The Man
