Aloha, baby!

While we were away, Baby Sarah got two new molars and started saying "puppy."
Leah sent me a voicemail saying, "Oma, I really, really, miss you and I want you to come home right now. I love you."

We missed those two sweetie-pies, but this guy was happy to finally be on vacation.

Waikiki from the dinner cruise ship we were on.

Diamond Head Beach.

This beach is on the North Shore and you can swim with these giant turtles that come here to lay their eggs.  There are monitors there that rope off the area around the turtle so that no one bothers them.

These pictures were taken in Waimea Valley at the Botanical Gardens. Amazing!

This was the last beach we explored on the windward side of the island. It's amazing that nearly one million people live on this island and thousands of people visit here every day, and we still had this beach nearly all to ourselves.  We need to play the lottery!
