Shane and I were able to go to Hawaii last week, thanks to Shane's mom who watched the boys and my Mom who took us to and from the airport. We had a great time and it was nice to get away. I got a few pictures from our balcony, the whole wall was a window with sliding glass doors that looked out on ponds and the ocean. The ponds had stingrays, hammerhead sharks, and other fish.
The first day we hung out on the hotel's private beach and swam in the salt water swimming pool.
Then we went to Waikiki, and the Dole Pineapple plantation. The next day was spent finding a pediatrician (Avery had a double ear infection and the onset of bronchitis) and at Costco getting medication. That night we were able to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a luau and show.
The following day was spent on the North Shore checking out beaches, shrimp trucks, the Laie Temple and of course shopping.
Shane had a chance to go snorkeling one morning. He saw a few whales, some dolphins and a lot of different kinds of fish. We also had a chance to go to Pearl Harbor while we were there and although the Arizona was under construction we got to tour the Missouri where the peace treaty was signed to end WWII.
All in all it was a pretty fun trip and hard to come back to the yucky weather, lack of maid service, and most of all; reality. Aloha Hawaii.

Hawaii is always a great vacation!! I don't know if I could live there...but I could visit several times a year....if only it were closer.....boo to long plane rides! And boo to Avery getting sick!
Wow, great photos! I love that one of the palm trees, and thanks for the pics of Shane wearing his lei and sipping the drink. You make Hawaii sound as great as I've imagined. I'm sorry Avery got sick though.
What a fun trip. Poor Avery.
Hawaii!!! Awesome - Someday I will be as cool as you. :)
