Amazing Saipan Sunset!



We spent last night just walking along the beach and watching the sunset. It was one of the most relaxing evenings we have had in a very long time! I just had to post some pictures to share with everyone. It really was this beautiful!!

We're Here!

Last night I saw the most beautiful sunset I think I've ever seen. Again, the pictures just don't do it justice. There really is no more beautiful site anywhere than the sunsets in Saipan...amazing!!
J. Ward and I went snorkeling this morning. We got a good work-out and saw some beautiful coral and lots and lots of baby fish. One even decided to have a taste of my finger! (I must not have been too appealing because, thankfully, he didn't come back for more!) It really was like being on another planet. The corals were pink, purple, neon green, and neon orange. I wish I had an underwater camera with me. And there were a lot of the most beautiful bright blue star fish I've ever seen. They like to wrap themselves around the coral!


We arrived in Saipan Thursday night, settled into our room, and got a good nights sleep. We had a very peaceful breakfast the next morning and walked along the beach. What a way to start the day!! The Flame trees are in bloom now and they are the most beautiful, vibrant orange! You look across the road and see them dotting the hillsides everywhere. I'm including a couple of pictures but they don't do the trees justice. So far, that's the only difference I've noticed since we were here last time. The Flame trees weren't in bloom in February.


Here is a picture of Heather...happy to be on the airplane!!

Well, that's about it for now. Can't wait for the other kids to get here!!!!

Heading Back to Paradise!

Well, we are on our way back to Saipan. We are currently in Houston on an overnight layover. We leave tomorrow morning for Guam via Hawaii. I know, it's a rough life! Too bad our overnight layover isn't in Honolulu! We have spent a relaxing evening at the hotel and are just preparing to call it a night.

I'll post pictures after we arrive in Saipan (which won't be for another 32 hours or so!) and I have a chance to take some.

Can't wait for the rest of the family to join us!!
