Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

We spent most of the day today up at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival - it's about an hour north of Seattle. The flowers are in peak bloom this weekend - get up there if you can!

Turtles!

Today is our last full day in Hawaii. It's been a fantastic vacation - and today was the day of the turtle.....



Gotta come up for air every now and then


Getting to shore can be an adventure


Nice Place to catch a turtle nap
