Happy Monday from somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean! We disembarked the Royal Princess in London this morning, and are headed home to our babes. We had a marvelous time, but I’m ready to be home and have my arms around them again. A mama can only go so long without smelling her kid’s heads, am I right?!
I’ve got lots of travel recaps and Trip Reports to share in the coming weeks, but with my family on my mind, today I wanted to share some photos we took from our 20th anniversary trip to Kauai earlier this Summer. (You can see snapshots and other details from our trip here and here.)
I hadn’t planned on having professional photos taken on this trip, but once there, it felt so special to be celebrating a marriage milestone as a family, that I decided to have it documented. We didn’t have special or coordinated outfits, so I just told everyone to put on whatever made them feel most like themselves.
And with scenery this stunning, outfits don’t really matter. Plus, it’s the joyous faces of my precious family I’m looking at anyway.
I love this man and this life we’ve built. It’s not always easy, but it’s always good! I hope our joy for life and each other is evident to our kids. I know our marriage is the best gift we could ever give them. But trips to Hawaii don’t suck either. 😉
I know many of you are anxiously awaiting a full Kauai Trip Report, and I promise I haven’t forgotten!! I have so many photos and notes to sort, so I need several dedicated days (and good internet!) to tackle that! In the meantime, you can see snapshots and other details from our trip here and here. And you can find my dress from these pics on sale here.

How wonderful – what gorgeous photos! We took our family back to Oahu and Maui to celebrate our 20 year anniversary this June as well! We didn’t visit Kauai this time but had also gone there during part of our honeymoon. We must have passed each other on our honeymoons 20 years ago – ha! Looks like you had a fabulous time. The Hawaiian island are magical!

WOW!!! These shots are absolutely GORGEOUS! And you’re right…trips to Hawaii don’t suck. Hahahahaha!
Beautiful photos! Your son seems to have had another growth spurt! Could be a little taller than Dad now!
Lovely photos. My fav are the black and white ones. Have always wanted to go to Hawaii. Maybe my hubby will surprise me for my 50th (😱😩) next year.
Cassie, these shots are beautiful! Your family is so photogenic ❤️❤️

Everything posted above, I second! The B&W ones are super cool/timeless. The family shot inside the palm trees-Christmas card worthy! Thank you for sharing…..
These photos brought tears to my eyes. Love is everywhere, and especially between you and Mr. SP. I hope you frame some of your favorites and display them in your master bedroom and family room. You are the best role model for unconditional love, generosity, and deep faith in God!
These are just absolutely fabulous! Can’t wait to hear all about your cruise!
These pictures are beautiful!
These photos are so precious!! I love that you just had everyone wear what made them comfortable, it really captures their personalities. 🙂 The shots of you and your hubby are adorable! It has been fun to follow your Instagram stories on your cruise adventures! The places you visited are beautiful! I have always wanted to visit those places and your videos/pictures have made it more so!
Those are so, so good! What a fabulous keepsake from such a special trip!
What gorgeous photos! You and your family are so blessed! <3
Oh my gosh Cassie, these are all so beautiful, but the one of you on Mr. SP’s shoulders looking up laughing is SUCH a stunner!!!! Lovely family! XOXO
Your son is a very good sport for his age!
My husband and I are thinking about going to Hawaii and wondered did you ever do a trip report? I remember following along on your blog but can’t seem to find anything now but your beautiful pictures. I was curious about where you stayed & activities. Thanks for any help
Hi Dana!! I haven’t done a full-blown report yet! I’m so sorry, hopefully sooner than later. But I tend to hang on to those special trips a little longer before sharing for some reason. Hopefully the two posts of pics in June give you some ideas of things we did though, and I’ll work on the post in the meantime. Also, feel free to email me for specific scoop! xo
Planning a trip to Kauai this summer. And of course, will be picking up some of your new collection.. 🙂 Trying to find your travel report? Thanks!
I havne’t done an official trip report, but have two posts with snapshots of what we did each week! You’ll find them under the Travel/USA tab!
