I don't even know where to start with this post. This trip was so incredibly wonderful. I'm not going to lie, there was a lot of anxiety leaving the kids...saying goodbye to them was really hard for me. I knew they would be taken care of so well, but still cried all the way to the airport. Tob even asked if I still wanted to go, but OF COURSE I did! This was our first trip alone since our honeymoon. We couldn't have had a better time! I'd go through each day and describe what we did...but really we just did a lot of the same thing the whole time...BEACH and FOOD. Everymorning we'd wake up, get breakfast, and walk to the beach. When was the last time I got to lay around in the sun next to water and READ a BOOK???!! It was funny I felt responsible for everyone else's kids. The mother in me was still anxious when I saw some kids get to far into the water. Go figure. But it was so nice to have so much time to just be together. Our dinner's consisted of Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, Jack-in-the Box, and Hardrock twice. (Sing the song One of these is not Like the Other) I enjoyed Hardrock so much I asked Tob to take me back a second time. While laying on the beach I kept seeing these fun Outrigger boats taking people out for rides so on Friday I convinced Tob to let us go. One of the best parts of the trip! We went out to this "turtle-docking station" in the middle of the ocean and snorkled. It was really hard for me to jump in...I don't understand how they can gaurantee there are no sharks there. They can't. Freaks me out. Anyway snorkling was so fun...the biggest Sea Turtle ever floating right up between tob and I. When we got back on the boat as we were sailing away dolphins started following our wake and jumping just feet from our boat. It was BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Another highlight of the trip would have been the BYU game. So fun to be at the game in that atmosphere in Hawaii. We had 2 row tickets and we met up with JD and Ash and had a great time there. Other activities included driving to North Beach, surfing contest, waimaii Bay, Turtle bay, Dole plantation (twice again), shopping, International Marketplace, ect. Adding Picture to all of this now...continuing details of our trip in next post- (If you want a funny story ask Tob or I about our visit to "Tiffany's":)
