Pineapples

 

After checking out of our cabin on the beach today we drove around the island. We found these pineapple fields, and then the Dole factory, but it was closed.

We also checked out a bunch of beaches on the way there!

Poynesian Culture Center

 

We had a great day at the Polynesian Culture Center. We visited all the different villiages, had a yummy buffet dinner, and watched the fantastic evening show!

Hawaii fun

 

Hanging out on the beaches of Hawaii! We were staying on the Marine Corps Base, then we moved to Bellows where we got a cabin 20 feet from the ocean. Spent some time swimming, surfing, and building sand castles.

Family Fun

We have been hanging out in Cedar with Ben, Mandi, and Ryker. We've been playing games, eating, going to movies, and eating. Rich is fixing deep fried halibut at the moment.
Ryker keeps us all entertained! He never stops for a moment.

Christmas Cruise

Kevin, Rich, and I flew down to Los Angeles and took a Carnival cruise to Mexico. We visited Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlan. We went snorkeling in Mazatlan. Rich went fishing in Puerto Vallarta, but came up with nothing but a good trip with some friends we met on the boat. I got stung by jelly fish in two different ports and don't know why they liked me so much!

Being on the boat was so relaxing and fun. We ate all day long, swam in the pool, watched movies and shows, read books, and generally just did whatever we wanted to!

We saw Kevin for dinner, and then other than that he was off with all the new friends he made on board. He would stay out until 3 am, but we didn't worry about him. It was interesting that he "forgot" to pack any shorts, so he wore his swim suit and jeans most the time! Silly boy!
