Another Glorious Visit with Nini

Two weeks have passed since Nini was here for five wonderful days and I have been waiting for the CD of photos to arrive so that I could share all of the best.

As mom said, the visit was not Eau de Parfum or Cologne, but pure Perfume. Five concentrated days of quality time together. Complete heaven for me. And for Lance.
We mostly stayed around Hilo and spent time sharing Lance's usual routine with Nini. They got to spend lots of time playing together, with Nini noticing all of Lance's growth and changes during her stay.
We also took a day trip to Hawi where Lance ate his first lunch at a restaurant. He had avocado and papaya (his favorites) while mom and I ate some incredible sushi.
We had lots of trips to the beach, despite the so-so weather and spent Easter morning relaxing together.

One of the highlights was when mom and I came out of our rooms unintentionally wearing matching pants for our walk. Naturally, I had to change my white tank top to a white tee-shirt to seal the deal. Boy, did we get a kick out of ourselves!
I know I say it all the time, but visits like these always bring up a lot of mixed emotions about living so far away from family. It just feels so good to be together! I guess I have to appreciate the perfume for what it is- short periods of time in which we get to totally focus on each other... what a gift for all of us.
