Aloha from Mark, Hanna & I. We are on vacation right now, we left last week to one of the best places on earth, HAWAII....OH MAN...heaven..... let me tell you.
We have been here about a week now, and we will be here for another. We are resting, and enjoying the surf, sand and sun, and SHOPPING!! Today was the 1st real active day we had here, we took surfing lessions and had a blast. We have been just sunning ourselves like lizards on hot rocks. I have some great pictures to share. I tried to get some of Hanna, but she was being very silly and would not let me get any good ones, so the ones I do have of her, she is trying to hide from me, or just being a goof ball...LOL
I think our dogs knew we were leaving because Zack was being a very silly boy. Here is is trying to sleep in Star's little bed.
Once we arrived to HI, we were met by our greeter with 3 lei.
We arrived at about 9pm HI time, so that is like 2am our time. Hanna was pretty tired and I was right behind her. We got our Jeep and headed to the hotel......rest here we come.
We slept like babies, until we got our 5am wake up call from little Miss Sunshine..HANNA, it was 11am Michigan time. So we got up, ate some breakfast and headed to the pool. Hanna was her usual fishy self, and Mark and I sipped Lava Flows and watched her make about 110 trips down the water slide.
This is my favorite picture of her. This is the real Hanna...LOL She has been so good, and just a great joy. She always makes me smile!!
After our day at the pool, we went up to the room for a shower and much needed rest. BUT...rest was not to be...we forgot our room key and had to wait for them to come and open our door. After about 1/2 hour, Mark went back down to see what the deal was...they went to the wrong room....YIKES.....After way too many Lava flows and swimming for about 9 hours..I don't think I could stand up for too much longer...so I ended up sitting on the floor in the hallway and started shooting pictures. Here is my take on pictures 101....don't mind the blur...They were clear at the time I was taking them...humm..LOL
ok so far so good...not too blurry...
ok after a few too many pictures, Hanna was being silly again and trying to hide. This is her way of telling me enough!
This was at about 6pm. Hanna hit the hay...
GOOD NIGHT!




Looks like you are having a great time! Enjoy the rest of your trip!!

Kristi, thanks for sharing these great pics --blurry or not! The pic with Mark on the balcony looks like the Kea Lani. That's where we spent my daughter's 1st birthday 14 yrs ago. (Loved their bathroom). We also saw Heather Locklear at the hotel market. She was staying in one of those unbelievable villas. Oh, and Hanna looks so sweet.
