aloha, island air!

Today was Mitch's official last day at Island Air. Mitch forgot his camera so this pic was taken with his camera phone...not the best quality, but at least we got one for the memory books, right? This is after his final flight. It's been a great 4 years with the company, and it's a little sad to say goodbye! I must say, it hasn't quite sunken in yet. But we're excited (and a bit nervous) for what lies ahead.

On a side note...give yourself 10 points if you know what this is!
(you local people reading this don't count!)

With the summer months creeping upon us, so does the best fruit season Hawaii has to offer. This is a lychee, and it's probably my absolute favorite piece of fruit. If you live in the mainland, you may have seen or eaten canned lychees, but make no mistake, it's not the same thing! Our good neighbor (whom Mitch mows and trims her lawn and trees) has a couple great lychee and mango trees and we're very fortunate to enjoy their fruits! I know, they look kinda freaky on the outside, but they are oh, so good on the inside! If you never get a chance to taste one, you're seriously missin' out!
