Welcome to The Chauffeurs Tale.
Three years ago I left secular work behind to stay home with my son Gideon Marshall. We woke up everyday, consulted our copy of “Kaua’i Revealed” and hit the road exploring the Garden Isle. I fell in love with our little adventures together and began sharing them on Instagram under #adventuresofgideonmarshall . Two years ago Gideon got an adventure buddy with the arrival of his sister Rosslyn Sailor. Occasionally we go off island for vacation, and I get to share the grandeur of an entire continent with them, but for the most part this blog is about island life and our hometown adventures. Due to my interest in writing I sometimes post fictional pieces as well.
Hi Em,
I love your Blog. You have been a great story teller and photographer for many years. I am enjoying seeing your writing again. You have a gift to see not only the trees but the lichens and denizens of the bark where others are distracted by the forest. Your photographer’s eye is incredible. At a parents visit to see school art displays, I remember that during a school field trip to an armory, others took pictures of the building and the tank out front by the flagpole etc. You climbed underneath the machine and took an awesome ground level photo from the rear looking up and out crossways through the tracks at the gun and the flag and the sky. You have always had that gift of seeing wonderment through perspective. Your writing shares that talent. You are not only sharing something wonderful with others but creating a fantastic gift for your children. They are living sites and events now that they will appreciate more later because of your love and talent. Keep up the great work chauffeuring!
Dad
