Mahalo Hawaii!

Mahalo Momma and Morgnah!

Our time in Hawaii was absolutely wonderful! We played, we relaxed, we ate, we drank, we shopped, we laid by the pool, we laid by the beach, we played, we relaxed, we had happy hour (at any hour), we played some more and so on and so forth. Honestly, it was a great way to begin our trip and to "rest up" with two of our favorite people.  Words can not express how thankful we are to my mother for making our month so special and ridiculously relaxing.......you rock Mom! It was such a pleasure to spend such quality time with my husband, mom, and sweet sister. We love you so much and we are so EXCITED to have more play time in Italy! Love you mucho Morgnah and Momma!


Tora! Tora! Tora!
Those were the words the Japanese used to signify the complete surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.  The events on that day signified the entrance of the US into World War II.  Being a history buff I felt we needed to visit the site where it all happened. It also helps that visiting the USS Arizona Memorial is free of charge and when you are on a trip a around the world free is really, really, really good! Obviously we are not the only ones who like free things in life, so in order to make sure we to see the memorial better we had to get there a bit early.

We spent our last two nights in Hawaii at the Hyatt Regency in Waikiki.  The hotel and staff have been very accommodating and we loved our room. Mahalo!
