Hawaii 2013

Hawaii 2013

This year Keith, Traci, Corry and I spent a week in Hawaii. Just the 4 of us. Corry hooked us up at the "rainbow hotel" aka Hilton Hawaiian Village for the first couple of nights in Oahu. Our room had a great view of the village, beach and ocean. This year we did something none of us had done before. We toured the USS Missouri. I think that was the highlight of our days on Oahu. The sacrifices made by our soldiers past and present always humbles. I am so greatful for the hero's who sacrificed to make keep our country safe.








This year on Maui we went to the top of Haleakala for sunrise. I always thought everyone exagerated about how cold it was up there. Afterall, how could it really be that cold in Hawaii? Guess what? at 10,000 feet it is just as cold there before sunrise as it is in the midst of our tallest mountains in the middle of winter. OUCH! Coats and winter clothing would have been nice. Good thing we thought to bring blankets from our condo. It truly was beautiful from atop the volcano. breathtaking.
