New floors and job security

Here’s the new wood floor where there used to be carpet.    
New floor. 

    
I have job security as long as Stuart does this. 

 
The sign doesn’t say “no trains.” 

   
New floors. Goodbye yellow! 

 
Newcastle beach park during the boys’ spring break. 

   
“Before” floor photos. Goodbye duct tape and random tripping hazard! 

 
Goodbye places we can’t walk! 

   
Goodbye white carpet! Goodbye lousy vent covers that sat atop the carpet so Stuart could take them off easily and throw things down the “slide!” 

 

Maui 2016

Hello! We are just back from our Valve Maui trip. It was as much fun as you can have with a 2 yr old in paradise. Which is a lot! And includes going up and down in elevators! And looking at all the water drains. We appreciated the heck out of the Grand Wailea. 

Trav became a pro dancer.    

 
Enjoyed some shave ice. Trav got Tigers Blood, Godzilla, and Toxic Waste! Yummy! 

 

Stuart loved a sucker. 

  

View from our room. We could really see the valet and air conditioner units well! Stuart didn’t care. Haha
    

Koi! 
 

The latest in tourist fashion.    
  Lavender farm. We had a beautiful view and ate lavender scones, lavender honey, and lavender fudge. Trav said “I really enjoyed all this lavender food.”

It’s called stand up paddle boarding, but it’s a lot harder than it looks!
