Monday

OK - First let me set the stage for those of you who do not know the Soutters. They have four daughters ages 6,4,2,15 months. Wonderful girls all with their own personalities.

Sydney - the 4 year old - really likes to wake me up in the morning. This morning she welcomed me to Hawaii Soutter style. I heard her approaching, and grumbled, "go away Sidney". Moments later - WHAM. Smacked in the head with a pillow. Gotta love her!

We stopped in at Target and gathered a few necessities, then went to White Plains Beach for the afternoon.

White Plains is near the old Barber Point Naval Air Station.

Below you will find a short video from the beach. To the left you are seeing a picture of Angela and Skylar in the back seat of our Mustang convertible (they really love this car), Angela displaying a Shaka (sort of), Angela at the beach (not only her first time to see the Pacific, but first time at an ocean beach), and us at the airport after Angela and Jennifer got a lei at the gate.

We are in Hawaii. Look for a post later Monday.

Made it to LA. What a dump!

Made it to San Fransisco. Still on time.

We made it to DFW with not problems. Now we just wait on the plane. United 837 to San Fransisco. United 858 to LA. Then Continental 173 to Honolulu. For those of you who like to track flights.

Medieval Times

Before our trip to Hawaii, we stopped in Dallas at Medieval Times. This is a dinner theater featuring 11th century actors competing in an arena. Food was pretty good. Entertainment was unique and very entertaining. I'd suggest it for anyone with kids! Angela loved it!

Off To Hawaii Again!

We never expected to go back so soon. Jennifer and I are friends with Stacy and Christy Soutter. Stacy is currently stationed in Hawaii, so we are going to see them and their four daughters. Stacy is taking leave and their oldest daughter will be on spring break so we will be able to get out and really have fun.

We hope to see some new and exciting things this time. We will try to find some hard to reach waterfalls, hike to the northwest tip of the island, 4 wheel in the "Jurassic Park" valley, revisit our hidden beach, snorkel in the ocean, and re-visit Pearl Harbor.

Best of all, we are taking Angela! She is so excited. We are too.

We hope all of our friends and family will follow us on this new adventure. We will arrive on Oahu on Sunday evening. Look for the first posts on Monday morning!
