Hawaii Pictures

Nate got to/had to go to Hawaii for work, so the kid and I decided to tag along and make it a vacation. Yippee! Since we were lugging a three year old around the whole time, we had to pick and choose what we wanted to do. Before leaving I'd decided that I mostly wanted to see some cool plants and some sea turtles. I must be a lucky cat, because I got to do both!


In other news, we came home to a stinky surprise in the basement. Don't you love built-in blog content? More on that later. Also later, I hope to put together a quick run down on how we kept expenses to a minimum. We definitely didn't treat this trip as a "once in a lifetime" event, but I didn't feel like we nickel-and-dimed ourselves whole time either.

I think the best part of a vacation is having no to-do list for an entire week. You should try it, too!

  1. We had a surprise in our basement too lately! Water. Guess the drought's over...

    Anyway, jealous of your vacation. Looked like fun!

    1. We had lots of fun and lots of relaxing, which isn't easy for me. I thought we would come home to ants, they are usually pretty bad this time of year. But a pipe sprung a leak in our basement, and it smelled sooooo bad.

    1. You could do what my dad did and get a knee replaced. I think he took 5 weeks off for that. No. Don't do that. Hope you have something fun planned for the summer.

  3. Wowwwwwww..... Lucky you! Beautiful pictures and I'm glad you had fun. I "had" to go to San Francisco for work a few weeks back. I was stuck in conferences, but D sure enjoyed it! ;)

    1. We feel very lucky :) We lived in SF for three years, but we had a love/hate relationship with the city. There are some cool spots to visit for sure. Did you have In-and-Out burgers?

  4. Thank you for the birthday comment! I had no idea that we were the same age!

    Your Hawaii photos are just beautiful!!! I am so glad you were able to getaway for a nice vacation. We spent a week in Maui a few years ago for my brother's wedding and it was so wonderful! The color of the water in these photos is just breathtaking! I bet your daughter had an amazing time! We hope to take Charlotte there someday! And Happy Mother's Day to you, too!

    1. Oahu was very family friendly. I've been told that Maui is less developed - I'd like to see that, too! As far as the birthday, ummm....I'm feeling a bit embarrassed. I recalculated and I'm only going to be 37 this year. Haha!
