Summer Getaway 2010

I took the kids to a getaway down in Waikiki. The timing was perfect. David left the day before so it was a nice distraction for a few days. There was no worrying about housework, dishes, the phone, and all the other daily things that come up.

We got there on Monday afternoon. We were in the new remodeled part of the hotel We had a new room that had a view of the ocean. It was very nice.

We went straight to the pool after we got settled in. The kids had so much fun in the pool. It has been so hot here lately it definitely felt very nice. That night Laura and her little boy Eric came down for dinner. we took dinner to the park at the hotel. While we were there Brooklyn found a frog. She is always finding creatures of some sort. The kids played and played some more. After heading in for the night me and the kids had fun jumping on the beds, eating junk food, and playing with the camera.

We got up Tuesday and we went to see the penguins at the hotel right next to us. Then the kids said they wanted to go to the pool. We got there about 9 in the morning and didn't end up leaving until 5. We took a short break to switch out our pool stuff for our beach stuff. we were at the beach for about 15 minutes and the kids said they wanted to go back to the pool. We again had dinner at the park. After that we went to the arcade room and finihsed the night off with a piece of cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. A great day in my book.

It was such a fun three days. There was no worries no cooking no cleaning. Just hanging out enjoying each other and the sun. It was a well needed few days of relaxation and fun. These three are the best kids out there.
