Friday- travelled to Hawaii. Our flight was a nonstop from Salt Lake. Six hours seems longish. We arrived in Hawaii to a very windy rainy storm, but after that first evening of bad weather the weather was beautiful. Especially for January. (Rick kept reminding us that it was a bad inversion at home. That makes the trip better in his mind. He is a hoot.)
Saturday- Relaxed and hung out at the pool. Swam in the ocean and went down the waterslide. Went to the grocery store. I did not miss my exercise today.
Sunday- Exercised and then went on a walk on the beach. Attended a beautiful Sunday Brunch at Kahalua and then went to the Sony Open Golf Tournament.
Monday- David and Rick played golf and Jen and Nicole relaxed at the pool. Introduced the Rebers to our favorite game Settler's of Cataan. Rick was the winner and reminded us often.
Tuesday- Happy Birthday David! Watched the Inaguration. David and Rick played golf. David decided he should always play golf on his birthday. Relaxed in the afternoon and then went to Roys for David's birthday dinner. David ordered the fish samplers plate. He is full of surprises.
Wednesday-Headed to the Hawaiian Flee Market. Then toured Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona. It is truly amazing. It really reminded me of the sacrifices so many people have made for the freedoms I enjoy and I am very grateful.
Thursday we went sightseeing to the North Shore. We had a delicious shaved ice at Matusmoto's. We watched this Peacock. He was fun. We drove by the Hawaiian Temple and then attended the night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Friday- Last day of our vacation, spent it reading and relaxing. Soaking up the sun. It needs to last me for 3 months. Flew on the red eye home. I was ready to see my cute kidos. A big thank you to Michael and Grandma Alice for taking such great care of them.

oh looks like fun. I hope for my 38th birthday I can go to Hawaii (could be possible). LOVE Matsumoto's shaved ice. I think when Amy lived there and I would always go and visit we would get at least 3 a week-mmmmmm! Looks like a perfect trip. Glad you had fun in the SUN.
Oh Man I can feel the warm sun now just reading your blog. I wish I was there. I too loved Matsumoto's.
Wish I was there...oh ya I was! Thanks for documenting, maybe I will just cut and paste into my blog! Wish we were still there!
Nic...this looks like such a fun trip. I am so jealous of the beach and sun time. Love you both.
Looks like fun, and your pictures look great. About this time of year every year I wish I lived somewhere like that.
I'm jealous! Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the snow, but I could use a little sun right now...and a little Hawaii too. Looks like you guys had a blast.
I've been to Hawaii a few times but I've never had this Matsumoto's stuff. It sounds like a must have. What's up with David ordering fish??? I think he secretly likes fish and tomatoes!
I love Hawaii. I went to the USS Arizona last year and it was very amazing. My boys enjoyed it as well. Ive been to that Marriott and it is like the ocean is a big swimming pool. Very fun for kids (no big waves).
