Welcome to our new blog! I know that this is a really exciting day for all of you, so enjoy the wonders that are the Woods. As many of you know, we have been in Honolulu, Hawaii since August 2006. No, this is not the vacation that never ended, though it often feels like that, but we actually live here. Over the past few years, we have gotten to do so many new and exciting things. We went to Maui for a Happening and stayed for a nice little vacation. Our new favorite weekend trip is to Kauai. We've actually been 3x to visit our friends Ben, Linda, and Cooper Nelson. Coop-a-loop! The Woods B&B has had a steady stream of visitors including our families, friends, and friends that feel like family. We love to hike, snorkel, golf, eat, go to the beach, and (our new favorite) stand up paddle boarding!... just to name a few. We have met some of our favorite people while living here... some of whom have become our family away from family. We are developing new traditions and have definitely created a life out here. Life looks a little different than the view from our little pool house. We're excited to share our adventures with you from this point on. Since we waited so long to start this, we'll catch you up with a few pictures from the adventures we have had thus far. We love you all and would love to have you visit our Hawaiian hale anytime. Aloha! ~Mike and Tami
