Memorial Day Weekend In Hawaii

Over Memorial Day weekend, we visited our family in Hawaii. It had been around a year since our last visit which is surprising since we live in California now. Needless to say, it was a trip that we had been looking forward to for a while now. Obviously, it was great seeing everyone and catching up. Unlike most people when they visit Hawaii, our days did not revolve around going to the beach. On the contrary, they revolved around....EATING! What can I say? I have my priorities in check!

Anyway, some of the highlights were....

The children....they're getting so big! I remember when visiting relatives used to say that to me when I was a kid and now here I am, telling them the same thing. We loved seeing all three of them - Isaac, Isis and Kiersten. They all have very different personalities...Isaac is a charming rascal, Kiersten is the quiet one, and Isis is almost 3 going on 16.

Golfing at Koolau....it's touted as one of the most challenging courses in the country. I was a little nervous going in because of this. In the end, we had a great hanging out with Uncle Brian and Landon. Only in Hawaii, can you golf next to a mountain, eat spam musubis from the concession stands, and see wild pigs on the course. In the end, I lost 15 balls, but I'm calling it a moral victory just for finishing!

Eating at O Bok....my favorite Korean restaurant in Manoa Marketplace. I get hungry just thinking about it.

Anyhow, it was a great trip. I regret that I didn't take more pictures while we were there, but I did manage to get a few - mostly of the children. Enjoy!
