Wow what a month June was! I don’t even know where to start. So glad that you are here for our monthly Ultimate Coffee Date link up with Coco and Lynda. Pull up a chair and your favorite mug and lets catch up.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…Happy 4th of July! Today is a great day to remember how amazing our country really is.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…June was such a blur! We started with my daughter’s High School graduation which was an emotional roller coaster. You’ve heard the saying “long days and short years” but it’s so true. How did I end up with an 18 year old?! So proud of my baby!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…We then had a blast celebrating at her graduation party with friends and family.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you….We left that next morning and spent 2 weeks in Hawaii. First we headed to Maui which was breathtakingly gorgeous.
I did a little running along this beach path, lots of sitting around the pool and reading and lots of swimming in this amazing pool.
I even tried a scuba diving class in the pool. Yup not for me! I think I will stick to swimming on the top of the water. I got a little too nervous and didn’t really trust the breathing.
One of the highlights was biking down Haleakala after watching the sunrise. If you missed my post with all the pics you can see it here.
We finished up our trip in Oahu with a visit to Pearl Harbor which is so tastefully and creatively done. Then spent a few days boogie boarding and taking a surfing class. That I loved! There is a definite learning curve but I did manage to get up twice.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…There is no way that July can top the June I’ve had! Lots of great family bonding and lots of laughs.
Wow I’ve been very chit chatty today! If we were having coffee what would you tell me??

So much fun this past month Deborah. I remember when our oldest graduated high school {so many emotions}. Now he is 24 and is getting into the EMT field. Maui is the most favorite of the {few} islands I have visited. Looking forward to hopefully heading back end of this year or will have to wait until next Spring. Happy 4th 🙂
Thanks! Yes life just goes by so fast sometimes! Hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend. Great catching up!
Happy 4th! What a month for you! and what fun celebrations! Yes you will have a hard time topping that! I took my kids to Jamaica once and my son and I went to the scuba class, I could not do it! I cannot make myself breathe underwater! UGG, luckily my son was still under 18 so I got to finish the day trip anyway and watch him dive. I hope you have a great weekend!
The whole breathing under water thing really freaked me out too! Have a great weekend!
What a great June you had! The pictures of your trip look amazing! Happy 4th!
It certainly was quite a month and hard to top for sure! Have a great weekend
Your daughter is gorgeous in ger graduation outfit! Her smile is brilliant and the jump photo looks perfect. 🙂
Thanks so much! It was a great day and I am very proud of her.
Looks like you had a fun and gorgeous June! I hope July surprises you in the best ways. 🙂
Thanks we sure did! I hope so too 🙂
That trip looks amazing! I can honestly say scuba wouldn’t be for me. I struggled pretty badly the couple of times I tried snorkeling!
You know scuba isn’t for me either but I am glad that I tried it. Have a great weekend!
What a month! It’s so awesome that you had a family vacation right after your daughter’s graduation – and what a vacation it was!
It was so great! Memories that will last a lifetime 🙂
What an exciting month. And a fabulous trip!!! Thanks for the coffee date.
It was a great month!
Were you at the Grand Wailea? I recognize the dolphins 🙂
Yay for surf lessons and congrats to your daughter! What an amazing month!
yes the most beautiful hotel anywhere!
Wow! Yes July can’t top June! What an amazing time! Congrats to your. Daughter and family!!
Happy 4th!
thanks so much have a great weekend!
You had such a great month! Can I come on your next family vacation?!
Now that would be fun!
Love it! Your family looks like you’ve had a lovely time. I did scuba diving as an excursion on a cruise trip, and we started in the pool. It was really difficult then but much easier when we were actually in the water!
I never made it to the actual ocean too scared!
Sounds like June was an awesome month!
It was so great! Hope yours was too and happy 4th
You had such an exciting June! I read about your sunrise bike tour and that sounds incredible. That’s an early wake up call for a vacation though. Look at you on that surfboard! Very cool.
Yes early wake up indeed! We had a great time though. Happy 4th
Happy 4th of July, and congrats to your daughter for graduating! 😛 She looks completely ecstatic, hahaha.
I’m so jealous that you got to go to Hawai’i! *-* I kindasorta want to make that a graduation present to myself when I get out of med school, but depending on where I end up, I might just want to get the chance to spend more time with my friends/family.
Ooh I vote for that trip with your family too. You would love it!
Amazing month you had!! Congrats on your daughters graduation!! Wow Hawaii– breathtaking views!!! What a trip! Happy 4th
Thanks it was an awesome trip for sure!
HaHa – I just realized that I totally forgot to actually link up until just now! Wow, you had an amazing June! It looks like you stayed at the Grand Hyatt in Wailea. I have a pic of the pool that looks exactly like that. 🙂
Thanks for the linkup!
We stayed at the Grand Wailea for our honeymoon 20 years ago and went back with the kids which was kind of cool.
I”m with you. No to the scuba diving. But I’d love to try surfing!
Surfing was a blast and harder than I thought for sure
I have always wondered how the breathing would feel while scuba diving. I think I would have a hard time trusting it too!
Yes scuba is not for me! Glad I tried it though
Sound like a fabulous trip! Glad you guys had a great time.
We really did thanks! Happy 4th
wow ! What a wonderful month you had. Congrats to your daughter and the proud parents. Hawaii must of been fantastic. I have never been but maybe one day ! hope you had a wonderful Fourth, thanks for the coffee date !
It was a great month and it is going to be hard to beat for sure!
congrats on your daughter, and how awesome to have gone to hawaii, it looks so pretty! I do not like scuba/snorkeling either, because I don’t “trust” the breathing, I get scared and hyperventilate
That’s exactly how I feel! Yes we had a great trip thanks!
That will be very hard to top! Congratulations to your daughter and wishing you a fun rest of the summer!
It sure will! Thanks and you too
What a beautiful family!! Your summer looks awesome 🙂 I’d tell you that July definitely came way too fast, but it’s been fun!
It sure did! I always feel like summer takes so long to get here and then poof it’s gone!
You had an incredible month! I loved following your photo posts on instagram.
Thanks so much! We really did have an amazing family trip
