I am back from a wonderful week long vacation in the beautiful island of Hawaii. I was invited to join Brent and his family on this fantastic trip. Here are some of my island inspirations...
Enjoy a flower in your drink...
Indulge in banana nut...
Take a walk with your camera...
Be yourself...
Embrace color...
Eat by candlelight...
Make time for adventures...
Snorkel in the pool...
Sit back and enjoy the view...
Let people make fun of you for taking too many pictures...
Mini-golf...
Pretend to be professional...
Save room for dessert... 
Take pictures of your food...
Add garlic to everything...
Eat what your want...Italian in Hawaii...
You never know when you will find a treasure...
Go big or go home...
It was bigger than my head...
Say it how it is...
Write notes in unexpected places...
Don't forget to eat...
Enjoy beauty crafted by hand...
Put a flower in your hair...
Lounge in your beachwear...
Play with rocks...
Find your adventurous spirit...
Take time to relax...
Embrace nature...
Decorate with statues...
Enjoy other cultures...
Make friends with the locals...
Watch the sunset...
Let fire light your path...
Eat like you are on vacation...
Soar...
Get a hammock...
Take a breath and live in the moment...
