A dream vacation except for a broken foot

I have officially decided that Kona Village is my favorite place on earth. While on our vacation last week I overheard an older lady telling her group-"If I only knew which day would be my last day on earth, I would time a move to Kona Village so I could live here and my money would run out on my last day." I smiled and thought it not a bad idea. We had a great time relaxing, snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, swimming with turtles, tons of good meals, and also did a lot of paddle boarding. If you are not sure what paddle boarding is, this a photo of my son on a paddle board.

It looks easy but is kind of tricky. I have posted about my Dad in the past who is currently training for his 3rd attempt to climb Mount Everest next year along with Mt Whitney and a triathlon next month. He is 66 and extremely active. In an attempt to balance himself on the paddle board he somehow jammed the oar into his foot resulting in a hairline fracture of one of the bones. It was an unlikely injury for someone so adventurous. The doctor has told him it will take 8 weeks to heal but he feels certain there is some "healing inflation" worked into that and thinks he will be back to training in 4 weeks. (we think otherwise)... The accident was at the end of the trip so fortunately it did not ruin it for him. We had Toby Hoogs Photography take photos that will take a month to get back and I feel certain to be able to use one for my Christmas Cards this year. Getting the photo taken care of for your Christmas Card is such a relief. I was able to get this photo snapped on my camera during our photo shoot to share my (growing up) family at Kona Village in 2008 and 1984.

Here are my own darlings...
