Now that I am finally getting to posting pictures from our 2 week trip to Georgia then to Hawaii back to Georgia I can finally say how wonderful and awesome of a trip it was. The trip started off with all three of us flying to Georgia to visit with Kyle's family. We all hung out there for a few days while attending some football games and enjoying our visit, then Kyle and I got to sneak away to Hawaii for a wonderful six days. We had such a great time being able to spend time together and relax. After law school, the bar, and life in general we really needed this break before the next little girl comes around. Thanks to my wonderful husband we had the opportunity to fly first class to and from Hawaii, there really is no better way to travel. Lucky for us we got to stay and two fabulous hotels while on vacation. The first few nights we were at the famous "Pink Hotel" aka The Royal Hawaiian. I had always wanted to stay there, I have had a poster of Waikiki Beach with this hotel on it and thought it would be fun to actually stay there, so once again Kyle made it happen.
The last few nights of our vacation we moved on over to the Moana Surf Rider also on Waikiki Beach. It was also a very pretty hotel, with marble everywhere and a wedding in progress everyday and just about on every hour. Both of these hotels have been around since the early nineteen hundreds so I really enjoyed seeing the architecture and feeling you went back in time a bit.
Here we are just arriving to the hotel with big smiles on our face ready for our vacation. We spent a lot of time on the beach soaking up the sun and watching the waves, but we were also able to rent a car for a couple days and enjoy other activities on the island.
One night we headed to Laie and attended the Luau dinner and show at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I really enjoyed that. The dancing and performance was awesome, Mormons do now how to put on a good show.
Ready to eat and enjoy some entertainment.
We also were able to stop by the temple and take in the beauty of Heavenly Fathers work and feel a great spirit there.
The Blue Angels had a show going on and were staying at our hotel so of course I had to get my picture taken with them.
We had fun driving around the island exploring the little towns and all the scenery, eating shrimp and pork from the shrimp trucks of course and cooling off with shaved ice.
Kyle looking cool in our red mustang convertible.
Our little girl got to go on her first vacation, lucky for her it was to Hawaii, so now she can't ever say she's never been there.
Kyle ventured out into the ocean with our camera and tried to take some pictures. Here's Diamond Head, and a picture of our hotel from the water.
It really was the best trip we've had in a long time. I loved every minute of it. We also have to thank Kyle's parents so so much for taking such good care of Evelyn for us while we were gone. I know it is a lot of work taking care of a two year old, especially when you don't do it everyday. She seemed to have a great time with them, going to fun places like the aquarium and being able to spend quality time with them. They are wonderful grandparents and thank them again.Well we safely arrived back to Georgia and I was so excited to see Evelyn again, though it's nice to have a break it is also hard to be away. Our last few days there we were able to go and see a friend of Kyle's from high school who lives in Athens and so of course they have Uga dogs all over the place and Evelyn had to get her picture with everyone she saw.
Our last day we attended Kyle's sister Amy's cheerleading competition. She coaches high school cheerleading and it was really fun to watch them. I think they did awesome and definitely looked the best.
We had a wonderful time in our two weeks we were gone and were able to do and see a lot of fun things, but now it's time to take it easy and get through the holidays while preparing for our 2nd little girl to come to our family.
