our vacation - part 1


Well this was our first vacation here in Hawaii. We ventured on over to the other side of the island to Barber's Point where we rented a cabin right on the beach. Usually our vacations were going to see family, but since that's not very easy to do when you live in the middle of the ocean (and two small children on a 10 hour flight doesn't sound very appealing to me yet) we actually had to plan a real vacation. It was a much needed break. Jason left his cell phone and laptop at home so he had 3 whole days of not thinking or hearing about work. As always we feel like we now need a vacation after coming back. It's always hard to sleep in a new place, pack food, clothes and everything else a toddler and baby would need, and then to un-pack it all when we get home. But it was fun anyway and a great time to be together as a family.


When we got out to Barber's Point we got to hang out with our favorite family here in Hawaii. Beau and Malia and their girls played at the beach and had dinner with us. We all enjoyed the air conditioning together. It was fun being with them and once they left Ethan wanted to go home too. Thankfully he got over it and decided it was okay to sleep here instead. After having an accident in the bed once and falling out of it twice, he finally adjusted to the place the last night we were there. It's funny too that it took us about a day and one freezing night to figure out how to adjust the air-conditioners. It's been so long since we've had to work a thermostat.
