a little behind but for a good reason

so i’ve been a bit distracted the past few days as we were getting ready for our epic 2-week vacation on the big island (and no that’s not manhattan) to celebrate j’s big birthday and also spend some time with grandma and grandpa. we survived our long trek out here, and now are in lost territory (my current junk tv obsession and i just finished season 1, so good!) – above is the view from the house where we’re staying at which is along the kohala coast and where we have been whale spotting the last few days.

i’ve been lazy as i’ve only taken photos from our bedroom but the view i think you’ll agree is not too too bad. i do plan to get some regular content out there — and have lots of good food and shops to share — but it’s taking me a little longer to get rolling as i adjust to the 6-hour time zone with a small child who still wants to get up at 3 and now 4 in the morning. meanwhile, we’re hunting down some excellent coffee spots here so if you have any ideas feel free to send them my way. have a great week, and i’ll be back soon.
