Our Friends Brian and Sara

The main reason I have been slacking on posting blog entries is because we have two of our greatest friends here, Brian and Sara. They trekked to Hawaii all the way from Arlington, Va., some 5,000 miles away. Peggy and Sara are best friends and it has been hard for them to be seperated for the past eight months. We have known they were coming to visit for a couple months and just couldn't wait. It's great to have them as visitors here because we miss friends and family so much. Plus we get to see Hawaii through their eyes — they are amazed at the scenery that we see everyday, so it makes us take notice again and be like "yeah, we live in this beautiful place." Sara and Brian both work at Whitlow's on Wilson. Sara is the master bartender and Brian is the chef. So if you are in the area, drop by and say aloha for us. They are staying with us for 7 of their 10 days in Hawaii and also visiting Honolulu for a couple days. While on the Big Island, we are taking them around the usual spots such as beaches, snorkel spots, the volcano, waterfalls, a few of the towns and more. The photos below were taken last Wednesday at the Kona Brewing Co. where we went for a truly Hawaiian meal of pizza and beer. See how happy all of us look to be together? We are going to have a hard time letting them go later this week.
