Hawaii 2014

Hawaii (top)


On the last day of July 2014 we got on a plane and headed to Hawaii for nearly two weeks of rest and relaxation. Little did we know a hurricane (Iselle) was heading for the islands, but we managed to avoid it. Man, we ate a lot while we were there. I think we all gained a ton of weight. Still, it was a great trip. We got to eat shave ice, swim at Grandma's and Grandpa's condo, and, best of all, we got to see all our friends and family. Whenever we go to Hawaii, the folks there always make us feel special.
