Finally settled in from all of our travels! We extended our trip so we ended up doing 3 weeks in Hawaii and 1 week in Portland OR visiting my dad.
I was awful at keeping up while away and I've missed everyone here on tB!!!
Also I'm really making this new thread bc I really wanted to thank everyone that took time to make suggestions for our Hawaii trip. We had a fantatsic trip definitely influenced by everyone's recommendations!!
We agreed that while this won't be our last trip to Hawaii were not gonna go out there again until the kids can snorkel on their own!! ;-) hahaha
Looking forward to diving back in and catching up with everyone!!

Ohh my favorite part/food...
The best part by far was our 14 mo LOVING the beach. He is a fish in water! For us though it was amazing to het to the beach super early before any one else was there. Turtles and seals sunning on the beches, the fish were undisturbed. We did this at a beach at least once on every island it was perfect.
The food... let me preface this with I'm closer to an (almost) everything in moderation type mama. So I wasn't leaving the islands with out trying some poke. (I mean no scuba, no sky diving, no tubing, no mai thais, no north Shore cave kayaking!??! - I was eating some tuna!!) Sooo worth it! Best coconut shrimp I've ever had in my life. I really enoyed snacking throughout a market or at the swap meet..A variety of manapuas, fresh fruit and my favorite probably Banana Lumpia.
Oh and definitely enjoyed (at least) one or two malasadas! :-)
I tried spam with breakfast one day bc yall suggested it. Let's just say that was more of a check the block sort of meal! ;-)
