Rainbows Out The Oahu

April 7, 2019April 7, 2019

Our flight to Hawaii went well, given that it was the first time Fisher and Milo had ridden on an airplane. I was nervous about how they would manage, but they didn’t seem particularly scared or uncomfortable. And it turned out that I experienced an unprecedented calm, and even excitement, on the plane.
