10 Days in Hawaii

Day 1: Left PDX at 0700. Flew to HNL arrived at 1pm Hawaii time.
Day 2: Laid on the beach. Checked out the city and ate at Puka Dog (as seen on the Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations)
Day 3:Drove to North shore and Laie so Lauren could check out BYU. Stopped to check out the surf. Day 4: Played in the pool.
Day 5: Met up with long lost friend, Ellie, and went to Polynesian Cultural Center

Day 6: Went to Pearl Harbor. Jake met 2 WWII Veterans, Pearl Harbor survivors.

Day 7:Eli went deep sea fishing. We hung out at the beach.
Day8: Dole Pineapple Plantation.

Day 9: Sunbathed on the beach all day. Enjoyed a band at night.

Day 10: Army Museum by day. Hot date with Eli at night.

I learned several things on this trip. First, Jacob loves tiki torches. Next, 5.5 hours is a long flight with a baby. Lastly, Hawaii is freakin' expensive! I miss the beach already. Washington beach just doesn't compare.

Did you go with your whole family or just Lauren?

I am so jealous and it looks like a lot of fun! We need a vacation, the only thing coming up this summer is the Evans Family Reunion in Boise Idaho, wahoo!

Hey Eli and Janel, it's BriAnne Huwe (used to be Walker). Not to be a stalker:), but I saw you guys on Joey & Sarah's blog and wanted to say hello. Your little guy is absolutely adorable! Would you believe we have 2 boys now?! Yikes. Anyway, glad things are going so well for your family. You can check out our blog if you want to (fair is fair, right?:)) It's http://huwefamily.blogspot.com/ Anyhow, have a great day!

I have been trying my hardest to convince Seth that I need a vacation and soon! So far he is not convinced, I think he is scared of traveling with such a stressed out lady! It looks like you had so much fun, I am completely jealous! I love the picture of Jacob and the Polynesian, so fun!

Glad you had a great time in Hawaii! Jacob looks so cute in that picture of him chillin' in the pool. Kids are so much fun! Hey we need to catch up again. Let us know when you may be headed to CO and maybe we could meet you there, I mean we would have to check our crazy schedule, but I miss you guys and the fam so hope to see you soon. Take care!

Oh I am so jealous. Zach and I haven't been on any good trips. Both our honeymoon and first anniversary trips were so dang hot with nothing to do. Awful. Last year I was two days away from having Austin. And now, on a student's budget, yeah right. Anyway, so glad you wrote on my page. I added you guys. Congrats on the marriage, the little guy, and everything. I often think fondly of the fun we had that summer. I may still have a cd from that Seattle trip with Grant. Ahhh fun times. Oh, and tell Eli hi for me.
