Aloha! Ono! Mahalo!

With a 6 week old baby G rearin' to get out and see the world, we joined J's fam. for a trip of a lifetime in the Hawaiian islands.

We made all the rounds - visiting 4 islands - to see as much as we could. In 10 days, we flew on 10 flights, spent 36 hours at airports and on planes, and clocked who knows how many miles! And Grant was a champ the entire time!

We visited Pearl Harbor
Grant took his first dip in the ocean!

Went to the Dole plantation

The Polynesian Cultural Center
Enjoyed some shave ice
Enjoyed the local cuisine

Blessed our baby boy!

Went to a Luau

And, of course, Grant got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa!
(and all of his aunts and uncles)

Took G for his first swim!

Went Para-sailing!

Saw some waterfalls.

Took a helicopter tour!

Went shopping.

Went snorkeling!

Saw a volcano

Went to a black sand beach

Went to the temple!


And threw our leis in the ocean in hopes to return again some day

We had the time of our lives! Thank you ma and pa and everyone else who made this trip one for the memory books! Can't wait to see ya'll again soon!
