On the road again

In April, our family is gathering in Pennsylvania for a family wedding. Nephew Peter and his fiancée Heather will tie the knot in Southampton on the 11th.

Our kuleana (responsibility and privilege) is to beautify the rehearsal dinner with touches from the Islands. We’re asked to wear muʻumuʻu and aloha shirt!

While we’re in the neighborhood, we’ll drive a little ways south to visit Pete’s fraternity brother Dave and his wife Chris. They have Norwich terriers, so we’ll be able to get our doggie fix!

It’s DuPont country; a visit to Longwood Gardens is also on the itinerary. It’s always so beautiful there.

Travel mercies and blessings to all!

Beauty at Longwood Gardens

27 11 2017

Whenever we’re in this part of Pennsylvania we pay a visit to Longwood Gardens. This time the designers decorated the halls and conservatories for the holidays for “A Longwood Christmas.”

We went in the afternoon and imagined how lovely it is at nighttime with the Christmas lights. No matter what the season, it is always a treat to see. Here’s my album.
