Sometimes it feels like we keep repeating ourselves with these sunset pics…but Max outdid himself on this one. It followed our Sunday evening dinner at Aloha Mixed Plate (AMP) and was taken less than 10 feet from our table. The kid may have a future in this…
Aloha!

Sometimes, you can meet people who remind you of what matters – and it happens when you least expect it. Yes, this can happen even in the middle of paradise – maybe it would be better to say it can happen especially in the middle of paradise.
On Saturday evening, we had the privilege of meeting Ernie while we were waiting for our table at
Aloha Mixed Plate. He’s lived on the islands for about 50 years and has so many stories, such a life history. One that could – if he had wanted it to – put him in a very different place. Instead, he is a wonderful soul. Happy and engaging and charming. Besides his wisdom (and Hawaiian phrases), he also shared with us shiny dollar coins (we each got a different one from Sacajawea for the girls to George Washington and John Tyler) plus a newly minted $2 bill (Mara was the first to touch it – EVER).
May your day and your life be filled with people like Ernie – and may you have a moment to stop and appreciate why they crossed your path.
Aloha,
Jennifer
This is Mara. After mini golf we had an amazing dinner! We ate at Aloha Mixed Plate. Max and I had strawberry smoothies, THEY WERE AWESOME! All of us agreed to come back again (even though Mom ate tooo much!).
P.S. This is the picture I took that was part of our dinner view – right on the ocean!
Full Life. Full Family. Full Throttle.
