The Best Days of My Life

The kite my dad sent me in the mail the year I moved to New York. Learning to swim. Being at the ocean, playing in the sand. My mom making breakfast for dinner. Swimming in Hanalei, Kauai at night, the waves glowing. Around-the-island moped trip with Sally in Oahu. Collecting blue beach glass on the North Shore. Snorkeling for shells. Collecting shells in Mendocino with Mum. Learning to surf. Drinking rum and pineapples on the beach in Varadero, Cuba, being serenaded by La Sugarencia. Seeing whales migrate by our house in Cardiff. Swimming with dolphins in Hawaii. The day Abby Grace was born. Baja - 30th b-day celebration with chica - and some strong margaritas! Pajaritas in Mexico. Hundreds of Sea Stars on the Oregon Coast. Birdie and G's wedding in Rosarito. Cooking with Sasi in France, learning French. Hula. Learning Hawaiian. Making leis. The plumeria and papaya trees in our yard in Hawaii. Taking Bug to the beach in Santa Cruz. Getting Coco. Spur of the moment trips to San Francisco with my mama. Meeting Rob, and every day since.
