Wailea


 It felt a little chilly on our walk to school this morning. The golden morning sun failed to shield us from the biting cold that whipped through our thin summer sweaters. To keep warm, I thought of the ten days we spent in Wailea this past July and while it didn't much help to stave off the cold, it did warm my heart.
 
I thought of Sammy and Alex enjoying what was left of their Shave Ice after most of it had fallen to the ground. I pictured vividly the time we spent on the beautiful beaches of Wailea and Big Beach -- sand in our hair and in our swimsuits -- we didn't care. We drank fresh coconut water purchased from a roadside stand. Picking fruit from the hotel orchard was tremendous fun -- we feasted on fresh tropical fruit every afternoon.
 
I miss summer already.
