Aloha

Hey everyone!! I am sad to say that we are back from Hawaii. We had an awsome time, and only came back because we missed our kids so much....we even thought about shipping them there!! We spent a lot of time walking, drinking and just sitting around. Things move really slow in Hawaii....nobody is in a hurry to get anywhere. During our time there we went on a tour of the Island, went on a dinner cruise and a Luau. Other than that we spent our days on the beach.

Below, Joe and I are posing in Becky and Wades room after several drinks, waiting to go eat!!!




We went snorkling one day....it was called Captain Bobs Snorkle picnic. They pick us up and take us out to a sand bar....this is where you get your snorkling gear and practice....for those of you who have never been snorkling....Practice is very important!!! I had such a hard time putting my face in the water and not hyperventilating. After a bit we all got the hang of it and joined in the volleyball game they set up on the sand bar...except Joe of course....he was just a little fish out there....since there was nothing but sand in that area he finally got bored and joined the game. After volleyball, we had burgers on the boat and then they took us out to a coral reef. Once there they wanted me to jump in with all those fish, and I couldn't even touch!!!!!!

Needless to say there was lots of screaming and freaking out. Once I got away from the area where they were feeding the fish and there weren't so many I calmed down and had a really great time!!! Again, Joe was a little fish and of course was the first one in the water and the last one out. He says that snorkling was his favorite thing that we did while in Hawaii.
Joe and I are below after snorkling.

The sunsets in Hawaii are just to beautiful for words and a picture just doesn't do it justice. I put one in anyway just to give you an idea.....I came home with lots of pictures of the sunset and also a lot of pictures of the views, it is just amazing!!

View from Dukes bar...one of our favorite places to hang out!!

And of course we had happy hour a few of the nights. Below is Joe and I after several happy hours!!!
