his month has been travel mania! Dan and I just got back from spending Christmas in Palm Springs with his family and in less than a week I get on a plane to Anchorage to shoot a wedding! These are the last few photos from our time in Hawai'i, and a little video I made from some of the footage I shot. I'm no filmmaker like my brother but I do enjoy shooting a bit of video now and then. The last couple days we got big enough waves on our beach for boogie boarding, which Dan loved. We also went hiking at twin falls, which is sort of a tradition of ours. It's a short little hike, but you get to swim in the pools and, if you're brave, jump off the falls. It was a little chilly for swimming that day, but I felt like conquering some fears so I took the leap. My mom got footage of it in the video, but I edited out the five minutes of me standing there chickening out before I finally jumped.
