Ishigaki Island

April was FULL of exciting adventures around Okinawa and the outer Islands! For my birthday, Nick and my friend's hubby surprised us with a weekend trip to a resort about an hour flight south of Okinawa. Best husband award right?? The weather was still a little iffy, in that it was in the low 70's so we ended up doing a lot of relaxing and laying out. JUST what we needed to escape from long weeks of working (I thought living on an island meant lots of laying out and beach days, right????? NOPE! Not when you have a full time job!)

Anyways, Ishigaki......Gorgeous! The plane ride itself was magical.

 Room with a view:)

Went out exploring for breakfast and the walk was so refreshing. Can I just live like this forever??

 This A-Mazing egg and cheese bread at the Max Value...sadly we haven't found it at the one near the house, it is so light and fluffy.

 Walkway to the beach at the resort.

 Soaking up the sun!

I can't thank Nick enough for the crazy fun girls weekend with Mackenzie! These are the memories that will mean so much when are older with families. Ishigaki was a great way to spend my 25th birthday!
