Day #1 - Arrival

Well, after 24 hours of travel time, we are HERE! Aloooooha!


Wow, I tell ya, it is not easy to get to Hawaii with three little ones! I told my mom its sort of like getting to Heaven....not an easy road but SOOOO worth it!


Not only did it take DAYS of preparation, but...

- the drive to LA, and being escorted through the icy Grapevine
- the disgusting hotel room, which didn't have a port-a-crib and smelled like smoke
- the sleepless night
- the 6 hour plane ride (with everyone pooping, and peeing and getting wrestless...)

sure left me wiped out!


Anyway, poor me, right? We're here and happy. Here are some pics!


****************

ALL READY TO GO!


Pey loved the plane! She was actually really good - better than I thought. She watched Baby Signing Time for 2 straight hours!



The girls were great. Until the last hour when they turned a mix of tired-manic-and bored.



This kid cracks me up! She thinks she is so big!


And it's all forgotten now.....we've already jumped in the ocean and felt the Hawaiian breeze!


This was our view from the resort tonight. I love it!

We'll see what day #2 will bring!!

Sounds so wonderful- the part of being there! When I read you were going I really couldn't see it as a vacation taking three little kids. Maybe more of an adventure but definitely worth it.

How lucky you are there, after quite a trip of course. Soak up some extra sun for ME, I could definitely use some! I love the vacation updates, keep 'em coming, that way I can kind of experience a vacation THROUGH you.
