Watch us grow!
What a spectacular view we have this time around. We love hanging out on the lanai when we are taking a break from the sun. This morning, Janie did a Facetime call with her friend Maya and shared the view with her.
We love the renovations they made last year complete with new furniture and flooring.
One of Peanut’s favorite things to do is wake up early to take a Mommy-only walk to the ABC Store.
Today, we picked out a pair of sunglasses for him and got some Spam musubi for a morning snack.
We also stopped at Starbucks for some coffee for Mama. Peanut happily waited outside with this snack.
In the afternoon, Auntie Yoon dropped us off at the Sheraton Waikiki. When we checked in, the front desk upgraded us to an oceanfront room. WOW!
The kids couldn’t wait to hit the beach so that’s what we did after dropping off our things.
The evening sunset was so pretty from the lanai.
The kids drew their version of our afternoon. So funny. I like how Janie’s drawing is of Dada on the beach saying “This is relaxing.”
We had dinner at the foodcourt nearby and the kids got their first shave ice for the trip.
Auntie Yoon picked us up from the airport last night and we slept over at her house. The kids loved playing with Trevor and had McDonald’s for breakfast.
We also went to the Farmer’s Market nearby and picked up lunch.
Later in the day, we went to the park/school yard behind their house to play on the playground and fly a kite.
What a nice way to relax on our first day in Hawaii. Thank you to Auntie Yoon and Uncle Kurt for hosting us!
We had such a good time in February that we decided to go again for Spring Break. The kids did a countdown leading up to today.
This time, Southwest had a table at the gate in Oakland so we got to register our SafeTravels stuff ahead of time.
We took an evening flight so we got to watch the sunset over the clouds.
Look at the beautiful view of Honolulu as we landed!
With our wristbands, it was like a FastPass through the terminal when we got off the plane. Woohoo!!
What a fun week it has been and now it’s the last day in Hawaii for us.
As usual, the kids were up early to have one last dip in the ocean before washing up and packing all our things.
Until next time!!!
Peanut made sure to have his Southwest airplane in hand when we took off.
We had dinner with Auntie Yoon, Uncle Kurt, and Trevor tonight. The kids had a front row to the giant volcano fire.
What a fun evening!
What a beautiful morning we had today!
The kids loved stand-up paddleboarding so much the other day that they convinced Dada to rent one again today.
They went out pretty far today but didn’t see any turtles this time.
Janie also got to try it herself and took a little passenger with her.
The rest of the day was spent at the beach playing and swimming.
Today, it was Janie that woke up before the rest of the family. So we spent it on the lanai having Spam Musubi and watched the sun come up.
Today was a rest day from the sun. It was also Toni and Thomas’ last day in Hawaii.
On our walk to the food court, we saw a Mama duck and her ducklings going for a walk too.
The kids love going up and down this escalator at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.
At the food court, we got a special treat at Kokoro Cafe. It’s called a Shaka-Boom: waffle shaka filled with chocolate sauce and topped with Dole Whip and rainbow sprinkles. Yum!
We also spent the afternoon in our room. The kids had a fun time together.
For dinner, we went to another food court and got one last family photo together before Toni and Thomas left for the airport.
