We just had the most amazing vacation in Hawaii. Nathaniel's grandma decided a couple of years ago that once it came time for us to move from Alaska she would take us on a vacation to Hawaii. I am eternally grateful! It was a fabulous vacation. We flew out of Alaska to the island Oahu and then got onto a small plane to the Big Island. The Big Island is so different from Oahu. Oahu is very touristy, very busy, very crowded. The Big Island is quiet, very dark at night, and far less crowded.
This was my first visit to the Big Island and I really liked it! We stayed in a condo on a lovely golf course, within walking distance of a few shopping areas and the beach. We had fun just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, and hanging out at the pool or beach :) every morning Nathaniel's grandma would take Caden on a walk for about an hour or so and it was so nice for to me able to take a shower and get ready for the day without Caden "helping" haha
This is the view out my balcony! It's a beautiful view of the golf course. The black rocks are volcanic rock! So cool.
He found an old phone and new exactly what to do with it!
Yep, he's a boy hahaha found this magazine in a drawer at the condo
We could not get him out of the water!!
Ugh. My heart...so cute!!

Last night on the Big Island!
We flew back to Oahu for four days and even though it's busy and crowded it was so fun! I love all the touristy stuff. Nathaniel rented a convertible one day while we were there so we could go to Pearl Harbor, the Aloha Stadium, and the Dole Pineapple Plantation. We hung out at the beach and Caden had a great time :) he loves the water! We walked around a bit, did some shopping, ate shave ice and pineapple ice cream, and went to a luau. Nathaniel's grandma continued to take Caden with her on her morning walks which he really seemed to enjoy. We were sad to leave the warmth and sunshine and beach and all the Hawaiian goodness but so very excited to get moving again! We can't wait to be in our own home again!!!
We got to watch fireworks from our room!
