HAWAII!!!!!

Back over the summer we decided to take a trip to Hawaii for a much desired vacation and to visit with my step sister, Carrie and her husband, Dave.

After receiving the call that we have a new son on Thanksgiving day, we left two days later for our trip. Talk about timing?!?!!? It was the longest week of our lives waiting to unite with our new addition and I am glad we spent it in HAWAII!

Thank Carrie and Dave for letting us stay with you, eat your food, cook for us, show us around and so much more!! We had a great time and it was so good to see you and spend time with you!

The day we arrived, we were very tired. Carrie and Dave were trying to keep us awake so we drove to the North Shore to see a preview of what was to come during our trip. We got there in time for sunset and got to see some sea turtle!
