Recently someone asked what we are doing in Hawaii and if […]  http://instagram.com/jimjessbaker I looked through my IG account today just to see which posts were doing better than others. Pretty photos do the best. Makes sense since IG is really a photo sharing app. So I guess I gotta get out there and take more pretty pictures. This is the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
