halifax does vancouver

earlier this month, mom and dad made the 6000 km trek from halifax to spend a week with us in van city...and there was no rain for 7 days...a miracle!

east goes west...to maui!

so everyone's been asking, "how was hawaii?". my answer: "it was just as beautiful, as exotic, as relaxing, and as hot as you would imagine it to be. and it was so much fun". some highlights from our 10-day escapade...

• snorkel trip to molikini island
• swimming in waterfalls
• swimming with sea turtles
• seeing our first penguins...ever
• seeing our first volcano...ever
• seeing a naked man engage in some compromising yoga positions on a nude beach (no image available, sorry)
• windsurfing
• reading trashy magazines on the beach
• watching local and professional surfers and windsurfers at ho'okipa
• and yes, that is chris jumping off the cliff. . .
