Hawaii Trip



Once again we HAD to go to the beautiful island of Maui! lol
It is always so much work to get ready for a trip, especially when you are going without kids. This was the first time we have left them by themselves. Scary!!! You want to make sure they have enough to eat and clean clothes. You clean the house and lay down all the laws. You make sure everybody knows what to do for the week and that they have emergency numbers. It all went great. I was very proud of them. Tae only called us 3 times a day. (hee hee)
We had a great time. This was a very relaxing trip. This was the first time that we have gone and just relaxed. Harmans always puts as up at the most beautiful resorts. Our room faced the ocean and in the evenings you could see the whales. Pretty cool. We did a lot of laying by the pool and ocean. It felt weird to not have to do anything. We walked down to the old towns and did some shopping, or should say I did some shopping. Big D's a good sport. I got to read, which I never get a chance to at home. We also attended a luau, lots of fun.
We went to church while we were there. It was so nice. The people there were so welcoming, where else can you go and be greeted with a loud "Aloha" at the beginning of sacrament meeting, It was great.
Here are some pictures to share with you. Had a very good time.


This is the view from our room. Absolutely beautiful!!


A view from the grounds at the resort. Yes! those are penguins, in Hawaii



We had a great meal at Bubba Gump's

This was an awesome museum of rock stars. Just some really cool pictures and displays, as you can see with Big D pointing to one from KISS.



This was at the Whalers village and these are bones from a whale. Cool huh!! Fun Fun Fun
