Day 29: Next project
Of course, since I finished a knitting project yesterday, I had to start a new one today! I’ve been wanting to try a hat (they’re supposed to go faster than scarves and the pattern I had picked out had more … Continue reading
Day 28: Scarf complete!
I finished my second ever knitting project today: a scarf for Seth that I’d been working on since before Christmas. The pattern for this scarf was super simple (knit 3, purl 3, repeat repeat repeat), but it took a long … Continue reading
Day 27: Dog park
Scout was spoiled by her Grandpa Dan while we were in Hawaii… she got lots of pets, brushings, and got to go to the dog park multiple times. Since she seemed to like the dog park, Seth and I took … Continue reading
Day 26: Rosemary
I should have taken a photo of our rosemary plant yesterday when all of its needles were facing the window, before I rotated it… Oh well. The rosemary has apparently decided that it’s spring:

Day 25: SCOUT!
One of the best things about coming home was getting to hang out with Scout again. My father in law took care of her for the 2 weeks we were away and she was spoiled rotten. Here she is with … Continue reading
Day 24: Bus ride home
Via my cell phone en route home from being at school only 3 hours after getting back to Champaign from Hawaii (and >20 hours of traveling… ugh).
Day 23: Shell
I didn’t have much time for photo taking on our last day in Hawaii, so you will have to be satisfied with this artsy photo of a shell:
Day 22: Wedding!
My best friend from college, K. married a great guy, K. on Oahu. Their photographer was awesome and let me try one of his fancy lenses and use his slave flash. The result: The wedding was lovely and so was … Continue reading
Day 21: Wedding prep
This is what happens when you’re doing your own music for your wedding and it’s 11PM the night before the big day:
Day 20: “Chrysalisses”
As a sort of bachelor/bachelorette gathering for our friends K&K, we visiting some of K’s friends who live in Honolulu. They were raising monarchs for some project (forgot to ask why exactly), but they had a few cages full of … Continue reading
Day 19: Pali Highway Overlook
Seth and I drove to Chinatown in Honolulu to check out a lei shop (which turned out to be super cool and ridiculously reasonably priced). We took the Pali Highway to get there, which has a gorgeous lookout that overlooks … Continue reading
Day 18: Sunrise Hike
Seth and I decided to take a sunrise hike this morning to Makapu’u Point on the South East side of Oahu. The sunrise itself was mediocre, but the views were beautiful and we got to watch whales fin slapping and … Continue reading
Day 17: East/North Shore Oahu
Seth and I spent the day driving from our little studio in Kane’ohe around the East and North shores of Oahu. For the most part it left something to be desired, as there was a high surf advisory, so all … Continue reading
Day 16: New backyard
Today Seth and I left our home on the Big Island to head to Oahu. The view from the little studio we are staying in is pretty breathtaking:
Day 15: Hawaii Hodge Podge
Today we decided to explore Hilo a bit. But first we admired a large gecko in our living room: In Hilo we went to check out Two Ladies’ Bakery, which specializes in Mochi. Unfortunately, our eyes were a bit bigger … Continue reading
Day 14: South Road
On our way back to the Hilo area from Kona, Seth and I decided to take the South Road (instead of the North Road). Our main reason for doing this was that we wanted to stop back at Volanoes and … Continue reading
Day 13: Coffee tours
We spent the day checking out coffee farms and hanging out by the pool near the hotel. We visited Greenwell Coffee Farms and learned a bit about the process of growing Kona coffee (which, by the way, is delicious). A … Continue reading
Day 12: More Big Island
Most of today was spent driving from Hilo to Kona via the Saddle Road (which runs between the two mountains: Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea). Unfortunately for my photo collection, I was driving, so I’ll have to rely on C’s … Continue reading
