Aloha!

Mikey and I had an awesome time in Hawaii. We left Saturday morning and spent 5 days on Oahu. It was so tough leaving our baby girl, but we knew she was in good hands. Mommy and Daddie definitely enjoyed our time together. We were greeted at the airport with a Lei. They were beautiful and smelled so good.

On Saturday night, our main goal was to stay awake. We had dinner down by the beach and then went up to the Cleveland's room for some cocktails. We had to make an effort to keep each other awake. We were all in bed by 10pm that night. Here is a picture of the Summer '04 boys. They started the business together and have all done awesome! We love being on the trips together.

This is what we woke up to on Sunday morning. Here is the view from our room over the pool.

This was our view of the ocean from our room.

We took these fun pictures on the way to breakfast. The resort was beautiful.


We spent the first day on the Beach.

On Sunday night we had a cocktail party at Sunset.

The sunsets are so gorgeous in Hawaii.

We went to dinner at a Steakhouse. There were 16 of us. It was a great time!

On Monday, we rented a car and drove up the coast to North Shore. I have this weird obsession with surfing. I think I was a surfer in my past life, so I couldn't wait to go to North Shore and see the real deal.

The other side of the island was so beautiful. There were a lot of big mountains and a lot less buildings. We took some videos of the drive. The beaches were also different. The waves were huge! They had all of these caution signs at all of the beaches. We stopped at probably 5 beaches on the way and watched the surfers.

There is a place in North Shore that is famous for their Shave Ice. It was so yummy. It was like eating flavored snow but softer. They put ice cream at the bottom and when all of the flavors melted down to the bottom it was delicious. We will never be able to eat another regular snow cone again.

On Monday night, we went and picked up pizza and a bottle of wine and had dinner just the two of us up in our room. Sorry, no pictures from that night.


On Tuesday morning we went on a Snorkel & Sail Trip. We saw this rainbow right before we boarded the sailboat. It was beautiful.

We snorkeled just outside of Wakiki Beach. After snorkeling, we enjoyed cocktails and hanging out on the boat. I got to drive the $2 million sailboat.

We sailed up and down Wakiki Beach. Here is a picture of Mikey and I on the front of the sailboat. It was so fun to be out on the ocean.

Here is a picture of the whole gang that went on the excursion. We had so much fun hanging out with everyone.

On Tuesday night, we had our Farewell Dinner with everyone on the trip. The food was good and the company was fun as always. We didn't get a picture before dinner, so it was a little challenging to get Mikey to behave for a picture. This was the best one.

On Wednesday morning, we hiked Diamond Head. It is a volcano that erupted thousands of years ago. We took public transportation over to the volcano. It took about 30 minutes to hike up. It was a fun challenge.

We made it to the top!

The view was incredible.
