Today was a sad day. We came home to brown, flat, cold, windy Kansas after spending 2 weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii having the time of our lives. Despite a few travel troubles like getting there a day late because Delta is stupid and trying to coerce a 8 month old firecracker to settle down and do nothing for 10 hours at a time, it was hands down the best trip we've ever had. My parents were there so they watched Claire almost every morning while Jameson and I went off to play. We did a ton of hiking, snorkeling, whale watching, beach going and a ton of eating.
Claire was a star on the beach. Not so much with the waves, they freaked her out a bit, but she loved the sand. She loved to smell it, eat it and roll around in it. I'm sure I'll still be finding little bits of beach in her ears for the next few weeks.
Hawaii is the best. I don't know why we are all so stupid and choose to live anywhere that isn't Hawaii. Stupid us.
