Mainland Bound


After spending an amazing year out here in paradise, we decided to rid of our island fever and spend a month back on the mainland, visiting friends and family, meeting with clients, and exploring the rolling countrysides as we drive across America. I'll try to update my blog regularly with our adventures. Aloha!
