hawaii, here we come!
So Nell will be gracing the beaches of Hawaii at the tender age of just 10 months!
We have booked yet another (our 3rd) trip to Hawaii for this winter and we couldn’t be more tickled! For those of you who know us well, you know that Lars and I just fell harder than hard for the Hawaiian Islands when we first visited there for our honeymoon in 2006. We returned in 2007 and had plans to return in 2008 but had to cancel when we got pregnant with Nell…not complaining there…what a GREAT reason to stay home! So now we’re back on track and have Hawaii as our va-cay destination for 2010!
This year we’ve even convinced some friends to come with us too…so we’ll be two families (with 2 kids!) gracing the beaches (and the golf courses!) of Hawaii! I can’t believe they want to come with us…what fun!
We’ll start our trip by spending 12 nights at the Park Shore Waikiki Hotel, where we’ve never stayed before. We usually stay at the Waikiki Beachside, but they didn’t have room in the rooms to accomodate a rollaway bed for our kids. Soooooooo we’re moving down the beach, but the view from the balcony will be the same…ocean front! Lars and I (and Nell!) will have 4 days together before our friends join us (they’re flying directly from Norway to Hawaii, phew!), and then we’ll jump to Kauai and spend 9 nights there, sharing a condo at the Poipu Makai…again, right on the water.
We are already counting the days until our trip…and as fall, and then winter, settle in…we’re going to be more and more excited every single day! Plus, this trip to Hawaii means that Nell will be visiting her Bestemor and Bestefar in Seattle just after Christmas! A bonus visit!
Oh wow- so fun!!! Andrew and I miss Kona- where we lived and worked and fell in love, haven’t been back to visit but hoping to sometime. Hawaii is amazing!!
