| The good news is that the last of my four children graduated from college last year. |
 |
| The bad news is that I promised them that I would take them to Hawaii
if they ALL graduated college. This is the beginning of the end. The beginning of our trip and end of their education and my money! |

| The sunrise on day one was a fitting greeting to paradise. |
 | ||
| A ride to Waimea Canyon State Park on day two brought beautiful sights of the interior of the island. The background for many movies none of which can capture the vastness of the canyon. |
 | ||||
| Plenty of time to explore the beaches. They were full of interesting side pools as well as flora and fauna. |

| Leeping into the unknown after graduation! |

| Treacherous paths remind us of years gone by. |

| And finally we arrive at the end of the rainbow. |
Hi Ray, I love your pictures!!! What beautiful scenery, and fantastic pictures. You have a wonderful family!! Congrats on having the last one graduate. I know from personal experience this is no easy feat. I will be in your shoes after next year - and a trip to Hawaii sounds like a great way to celebrate. Thanks so much for sharing this story with us!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Looks like a fantastic trip. That final shot, with the rainbow in the background- looks too good to be true. I bet the others were disappointed they didn't make that climb. Nice job putting this together.
ReplyDeleteGood use of all of the pictures. Glad you were able to narrow them down. It is a great story to share with a lot of great characters. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery awesome pictures. This is a lovely story, perfectly told in pictures and a trip I know your children were so grateful to have, Go Dad! lol
