A Little Catch-up

I have a small break from packing and cleaning. So I thought I would catch you all up. This past week we had a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. We spent a week on Oahu, seeing the North Shore, Pearl Harbor, Huname Bay (sp?), surfers, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu Zoo, Wimea Falls, Kevin flying formation over Kawela Bay, The Dole Plantation, going to luaus and other very cool things. I now know why this place is called Paradise. It was awesome. We stayed on Ford Island which is right in the middle of Pearl Harbor. It is kinda like ground zero for that historic event. I have pics of buildings that have bullet holes in them from that day. Lots of beautiful sunsets. So many details to share. Like, Noah falling head over heels for the ladies in grass skirts!! I can't wait to show my pics, but I really don't have that much time to post them. Cause I am in the middle of cleaning and packing cause we leave again on Monday. Kevin, me, and the boys are flying out on Monday to drop the kids off at my moms, then we head out for Europe. we are so pumped. This April we will be married 5 years and we decided no better way to celebrate than with an awesome trip together. We will be in Paris for 3 days, Venice for 2 days, Rome for 3 days, and 2 days of air travel. Added bonus for this trip is that Friday, March 21 we will be in Paris, which is also my 30th bday! I could not think of a better way or a better place to spend it. We are only carrying our backpacks, so packing is becoming an intricate plan of very elaborate organization. I am also trying to learn basic Italian and French phrases to get us by. I took French in high school, was pretty good at it, but that was almost 11 years ago!!! So go ahead and prepare yourselves for all of the pics that will be posted when we finally get back.
Hope you all have a great Easter!!!
Au Revoir and Ciao!
