On our journeys we have met so many wonderful people! That has been one of the best things about this trip. The people we have met have made all the difference in the world when it came to the places we have visited. While in Hawaii we met many wonderful people, but one family in particular, really made it hard to say good-bye to at the end of our month long stay, The Brodericks.
The day before leaving the Big Island, Joss went to school with Bella Broderick. This has been her first time back to school since April. She was soo excited!!
On the way to school she changed in the car into the school uniform, so she wouldn't stand out.
The school was very small, only about 6 kids in grades K-3. The principal was also the teacher AND the bus driver! He is an amazing teacher who really cares and loves what he does. And the kids loved him just as much!
When Joss first got to school, kids from all classes got together and sang some songs, preparing for their field trip to the nursing home to sing to the elderly.
While Joss went to school, Erik and I went with Noah and Mandy for some off-roading. Noah stuck some lawn chairs in the back of his truck and off we went.
Found a nice spot along the coast with some breath taking views to stop and take a break and drink some ice cold Miller Highlife
Hanging out just shooting the sh**.
Erik loved Noah's truck

Later that night we met up with the Brodericks for our last dinner on the Big Island. Josslyn's teacher also made it out. Here he is posing with Joss and Bella. The kids just love him soo much!
Good byes are always so hard. We will always remember the wonderful people we have met on the Big Island and because of them, Hawaii has jumped to one of the top spots on our list of places to live. Nowhere else is the weather so beautiful. Everyday day is filled with sun and warmth while the nights bring about ocean breezes that cool it down just enough to sleep comfortably with the windows open. And while you lay there in bed you look up at the skies which are so brightly lit by millions and millions of visible stars. All of this was so hard to leave as we headed out to the airport passing all the places we frequented while here on the island. Mahalo and Aloha Hawaii.
