It was the first time in this part of the world for all four of us. My sister Watsuki moved to Philly from Maui about 10 years ago and I dont think shes coming back. I cant blame her life seems just perfect for her and her Husband Tim, Baby Olivia and her son Rexy. They opened their home and their hearts to us for a few weeks over the christmas vacation and showed us  the absolute best time. Its fun to go places but its waaaay funner when you know someone in those spots.

I was so tired of bringing home thousands of photos from our vacations. They all just sit on hard drives and I get way too intimidated by the mass quantities to get started, or too busy to even try to sort through and edit. So this vacay I brought a 35mm film cam and shot some kodak film. So fun!! And the best part no editing and a “closer-to-sane” amount of photos from our vacay. Hence, we actually enjoy looking at them now 🙄 The first shot up above im telling the stanger on the street to ease up on the shutter. Bro was rapid firing and just burning my film. Classic. 

 

On Christmas day my youngest sister Evianne, delighted us with classical piano and Watsuki served us dinner in the amazing dining room below.

Head Shot – Evianne. She got that scar by diving head first into a lava rock when she was 2.

 

Super not cool that my older sister looks younger than me.

These are side by side silhouettes of Sandr and I on the right and Watsuki and Tim on the left. Tis the season for smooching.

These shoes tho!

Watsuki trying to catch some rays. It was freezing!

Me my nephew Rex and sister Evianne. Family man to the end.

We were so excited driving into Manhattan. Felt surreal  for this tropical ohana. We truly had the time of our lives and cant wait to get back!

We were in poopy moods below. Far from our hotel, cold and tired of walking. Oh and traffic at a complete standstill for the entire city.

The central park tunnel! We went to the zoo right around the corner after this shot 🙂
