A week in Paradise ...

CLEAN AIR, clean water, STARS at night, tropical drinks, chicken wings, SALADS, delicious steak, sandy beaches, multiple swimming pools, BABYSITTERS anytime we want and QUALITY TIME with our parents --- yep, sounds like Paradise!  

Since my parents trip to China didn't quite work out, and Ryan's dad and step-mom weren't too interested in traveling to China, we decided to all meet "half way" in Hawaii for 1 week!  This ended up being a fantastic idea, although I don't think it was 1/2 way for any of us!  And the best part about going to Hawaii was that we got to see Frank and Karen (Frank officiated our wedding) and they got to meet Ava!

We spent the first part of our trip in Honolulu where we enjoyed the sunshine and all of the sights to see - we climbed Diamond Head, visited Pearl Harbor, snorkeled at Hanauma Bay and of course attended a Luau!  The second part of our trip was spent in Maui!

Our first day in Hawaii!  My parents welcomed us with Leis!


Dan & Julie!

Our resort was just beautiful and had several ponds with fish, turtles and even penguins!

Enjoying a swim with Papa!

Delicious prime rib buffet with the whole gang!

Looking for planes!

Chatting with Mamou


Quality Time with Bapa

Date Night thanks to my brother and SIL for getting us a gift card to an amazing steak house - and to my parents for watching Ava!


Almost to the top of Diamond Head - winding staircase and bunker and then we are there!

Made it to the top




Ready for the Luau!
