Hawaii 2011

Traveling for work, while sometimes a drag, really has its perks. For example, every so often I get to go to Hawaii! My friends have noted that I was not so fortunate as I was going to Waikiki (which is touristy), but hey, I'm going for free-- What do I care? ;)

Tuesday I stood around watching the awesome sets of waves roll in while snapping pictures of the sun as it began to and finally set. Aside from the last bit where I was unexpectedly given an impromptu bath by an abnormally large wave, it was a dry success!

Here are a few photos -

Swan Lake?

Last weekend I visited an old friend up in Orange County at her mom’s lake-front house. We shared a lovely BBQ meal and then cruised around the lake on the boat. 

Besides seeing my friend, I especially enjoyed being on the boat (that went all of 10 mph though the man-made lake) - It was the first time I didn’t get sea sick on a boat!
