I’m so tired of winter. This cold weather is killing my vibe. Take me back to Hawai’i, the land of perpetual sunshine and rainbows. Give me a piña colada and fan me while I sit poolside with my kids. No, I take that back. I’m leaving them at home in the Pacific Northwest.
Meanwhile I’ll be basking in the sunshine on a white, sandy beach

or taking a hike in the mountains.

Maybe I’ll go to Waimea Falls Park and walk along their beautiful grounds filled with native plants and flowers.

I could always go to the beach and watch my nieces and nephews play in the surf.

I could even pick bananas from the tree in my mom’s backyard

or drink some coconut water with my brother.

I think I’ll drive around the island and watch the florist sew leis.

At the end of the day, I’ll watch the canoe paddlers go off into the distance beneath the warmth of the setting sun.
