Hawaii in a flash

 We have been back from Hawaii for 6 weeks now and we still miss it every day. The week was a busy one to say the least with many activities planned such as hikes, kayaking, waterfalls, more hiking, a luau, Pearl Harbor, a birthday party, and more hiking all while toting a two year old and one year old along with us. They were such troopers! After a hellacious travel day with American Airlines, we arrived in beautiful Honolulu around 8pm(midnight our time). Since we were jumping right into things the next day, we decided we would do our Christmas that evening. And from there the hours of sleep never caught up with me. Fortunately, it was all worth it. My sister had so much planned that cat naps in the car were necessary. For being such a small island, I had no idea how much time we would be spending in the car! Again, all worth it. My sister and her family live towards the west of the island, Oahu so my parents rented a beautiful condo in the same vicinity at the Ko Olina which was right around the loop. It was a perfect place to vacation with private lagoons and beautiful swimming pools.  Here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures that were taken from our fantastic week in Hawaii.
