Remembering Hawaii

Today my parents brought over all the 1100 + pictures from their trip to Hawaii. It was fun to look at them all and hear about all the stuff they did!



Here are just a few in no particular order... it was really hard to choose!


visiting the crater at 10,000 feet











at the luau




he's not quite sure about the poi


the guy in the background made that fish out of grass


feeding koi


on the train at the sugar plantation

one of the many humpbacks they saw


this stand boasts the "best banana bread in the world"
and it was still warm when they ate it!




the Grand Canyon of Hawaii


Will and the pig

playing in the surf


all ready for dress-up night

the Cadillac Diner on the ship




the Ocean Center (Will loved this place!)


the Woody (grandpa loved this car!)


a banyan tree



enjoying the hot tub at night

they put candles in his cake for his birthday but
wouldn't light them
(there are strict rules against any kind of fire on ships)

What a great time they had. Thanks for sharing those photos. I'd really love to go. How blue that water in the middle of the Pacific is.
Our Victorian fires are almost under control now, but the death toll was terrible. However, it's been encouraging to see others all around Australia rally together for support.
Blessings,
