Ahh, the beauty of the Islands

Well, we're back from Hawaii, and what a wonderful trip. In 2004 we went to the Big Island, but were disappointed because of the multiple days of rain. This trip, despite being over Christmas, was 180 degrees different. We couldn't have been more pleased! The sun shined every day, and the temps were 80-85 degrees . . . SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!!

We had some really fun days including attending a Luau, a whale watching excursion, a day trip to South Point & Black Sand Beach, and relaxing on the beach. We've both decided that pictures can encourage anyone into a diet . . . it's especially easy when you're close to New Years and you looked like a beached whale (like the ones you just viewed 24 hours earlier.)

One of the best (or worst depending on who was watching) experiences was when Jeff got picked from the audience to hula. There certainly hasn't been anything as grotesque for quite some time. As Hannah asked when he came down from the stage, "What were you doing?!"

If anyone is interested in going, our advice is GO! There's nothing more relaxing and enjoyable. Here's a whole bunch of pictures:

LOVE the pictures! I'm so happy that you had such a nice trip. Nathan and I are supposed to go to Hawaii in like 2009 or 2010 with his company, but I laughed when he told me when it would actually happen. It just sounds so funny. Your family is so cute and I think you should make the one with all of you into next years christmas card. :)

Gorgeous pictures. I am now insanely jealous of your trip. I've never been to Hawaii, and would love to go. And I think you look great by the way!
