Hawaii

As many of you know Jessica and I went to Hawaii with Jessica's family last week and we had such a wonderful time; we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to spend that time with our family. Jessica's family is a bit spread out so it is always so much fun when we all get together. It was such a relaxing week, we sat on the beach, ate good food, went on a hike (that almost killed us) played in the pool and really just had lots of fun. Jess and I even tried snorkeling, thanks to everyone else telling us how cool it was. And we really did enjoy it.

I have two small pieces of advice. First, if you ever see a sign that says "Danger Falling Rocks: Unsafe Beyond This Point" please heed that warning. The second piece of advice is to be very careful if you ever use expedia to book your flights. Make sure you call your airline to check whether or not you need a paper ticket. Even if expedia tells you that you don't need a paper ticket; there may be a chance that you actually DO need a paper ticket. Our paper tickets were ironically waiting for us at the front door of house after one very long and frustrating night of traveling.

But we made it home, and it wasn't enough to put a damper on our trip. We had such a wonderful time and like I said, nothing is better than spending time with people that you love very much. I hope you enjoy our slideshow...
