TGIF 4/5/2024 - Edition 147

After enduring a series of delays leaving Seattle, finally getting a chance to enjoy quality time with my family. Living in Seattle has its highs and lows with the weather and every year we purposely find time early in the calendar year to visit somewhere warm. It was great to wake up this morning to the sound of the ocean and wind blowing thru palm trees. For those other families on Spring Break, enjoy the time. Will take guesses on which Hawaiian Island we are on ????.
