Hawaii....
We are so random and fly by the seat of our pants, We decided to go to Hawaii March 12th and bought tickets March 13th. We left March 29th and stayed until April 5th. We had a blast to say the least. Jeremys' parents had gotten a time share for a week and invited us to join them. It was a relatively cheap vacation (considering it was last minute and thanks to Jed and Joyce for sharing their vacation with us) and a very relaxing one for sure! Connor and Bridger were amazing travelers and the 5 hour flight from Los Angeles to Kuaui was mostly uneventful, the last hour we all were a little restless. We spent most of the days on the beach at the resort we stayed at. The weather was beautiful and all Bridger wanted to do was play in the sand and water. Connors' favorite part was climbing in and out of the baby pool, he also enjoyed the beach and would crawl right into the water. It didn't even phase him if the waves splashed in his face. I never thought I would be able to get all of the sand out of their hair...
Jeremy tried multiple times to get me to apply for jobs over there so he and the boys could be beach bums forever. I convinced him otherwise. We stayed at a Marriott Resort and every morning the kids were able to feed the coi fish in the pond, Bridger made sure we were on time for this every morning. Each day at the resort we were given wristbands so we could use the pools, towels, lawn chairs, and etc. that they provided. Bridger kept his wristband from the last day we were there on for over 2 weeks after we were home.
We enjoyed driving around and seeing the island. It is so beautiful with all the trees and scenery. One day we drove up to Waimea Canyon, it was amazing even though some of us got a little carsick from the winding roads while driving down the mountain. By the end of the week, we were ready to be home and back on schedule. The flight home was a red eye. Jeremy and I used to make fun of people with neck pillows but after this flight we both agreed it would have been useful and well worth it to have one! Poor Jeremy had to go back to work the night we flew home.
Another exciting thing that happened while we were there was our little Connor turned 1!!!! We celebrated by spending the day at the beach and taking him out for a treat that night. When we got home Bridger asked me, "Since we went to Hawaii for Connors 1 year old birthday, can we go back when I turn 5?!" I just laughed, he does have a good point. Anyone up for meeting in Hawaii in September?
