I meant to make this post a while ago…. a long while ago. Actually, the plan was to blog every few days while on our family vacation in Hawaii. After we got here I realized that after a long day of playing in the ocean, or kayaking, or snorkeling, or just sitting on the beach reading…. I WAS POOPED! ☺ The five hour time difference alone made it tough to keep my eyes open when it got dark! Needless to say, Ted, Micah and I have been having an incredible time here. I have always heard people say that Hawaii is amazing but I really had no idea how cool it would really be. Right now is the time when all the whales surround the islands of Hawaii to have their babies. I heard an incredible statistic the other day that there are about 100,000 whales surrounding just the Big Island right now! That means I step out on our hotel balcony to see whales almost every morning! What a way to begin your day!

Our trip began in Waikiki on the Island of Oahu. I love the craziness of Waikiki with all the people, all the shops and all the movement. We had an INCREDIBLE view of the ocean, the city and the mountains! The panoramic was amazing! Ted is a total priceline guy and he always worries that when we show up to the hotel there with be roaches and brown water so we were totally excited when we finally got there! Micah LOVES hotel rooms. I swear that if we stayed in the hotel room the entire time and swam at the pool he would be in heaven. He has spent a lot of time jumping from one bed to the other. That is always a hit! I think while we were in Oahu we ate most nights a Dukes on Waikiki Beach! Has anyone else been there? MAN is it an awesome setting right by the water but the food is awesome! By the last night the waitress came up and recited my exact order. Sad.

My sister is a travel nurse in Hilo right now. So as we speak I am sitting in my hotel room in Kona which is about 2 hours from there. But before I move on, here are some of our fun days in Waikiki!!! This photo was taken within the first few minutes we were on the beach! He was so excited!

Total happiness….. 

Surfing will take a little time….

Even though he loves Hawaii the sun and the water wears him out fast!!

My sis came over to play while we were in Waikiki. She is in the front of the photo with the board! I love little Micah and Ted in the background!

Micah loves just hanging on the board with daddy!

The next day we decided to rent a Jeep and head to the North Shore! My sister Meg was with us! Everyone asks if we are twins…..

On the way to North Shore we stopped at an incredible beach for a quick swim!!

This was the view from the beach! Yum!

I just never know what I am going to get when I ask him take a photo….

See what I mean??

Ok, I have lots and lots of photos I wanted to add to this post but little Micah is grabbing my arm saying he is hungry so this post will have TO BE CONTINUED….. Stay tuned! I will be putting more on tonight so check back in the morning!! Thank you for dropping by!!
