While vacationing in Kauai, I read “The Descendants”. The novel helped me to experience the landscape through the eyes of a Hawaiian. I sat on the lounge chairs of the St. Regis in Princeville and read about how the family stayed at that hotel. A place can inspire great stories. Tonight, that novel won an Oscar for it’s ability to have viewers experience a powerful human story. Congrats to The Descendants.
Kauai became a place I will always remember as our first family vacation. I learned on this trip that our love of travel will forever be apart of our family story. I can’t wait for Maggie to love experiencing the world as much as her daddy and I.
