Hawaii

What could be better than arriving in paradise?

Let me tell you.

Arriving in paradise after a 7 hour layover that turned into an 11 1/2 hour layover due to plane problems, with no food, no sleep and very little comfort.

That and the fact that my dad picked us up at the airport at 3:30am holding 4 BEAUTIFUL leis that had been made by a woman in his ward. So sweet.

Scott (Nate) and I enjoyed a wonderful vacation full of family, relaxation, creepy crawlies, sunshine and water. Lots of water. Salty and fresh.

Since we were in Hawaii last year, we were able to really just sit back and relax with my parents and Ben, which was super awesome. We didn't have to worry about getting in all of the "tourist stuff"- since we had done that so recently.

We accomplished our number one goal within the first 2 days: Go to Ted's Bakery and buy/eat a haupia pie. CHECK. We also got to dress up like angels and sing "silent night" at the Polynesian Cultural Center as people payed a pretty penny to float down the river and listen to us. Cool, I suppose.
Scott cried each time he had to get out of the pool.

It was definitely way too short of a trip, but one we are so grateful we were able to have.

Until next year!



ALOHA!
