I realize I have not uploaded a blog in a while. I have been very busy this past month trying to squeeze in as much as possible, and honestly haven’t really thought about putting up a post. But here are some photos of what I […]
Rainy Days
Unfortunately, the weather has not been on our side lately. For the past three weeks, the weather is nice and sunny during the week, and once the weekend comes, it gets cloudy and rainy. There isn’t too much to do in Oahu that is indoor, […]
