We have had such an amazing time in Hawaii. I could write paragraphs and paragraphs of how much fun we have had, how beautiful Hawaii is, how great the family time was, and all the sites we have seen, but I will mainly just share pictures for now. I will share more next week. I just have time to post a few right now.
Most of all, it has been great to spend time with family, laughing and experiencing God’s amazing, beautiful creation. It is just still surreal that this was our last vacation without a little one. Our baggage was plentiful, and from what I hear, it doesn’t hold a candle to packing for a little one…
Enjoy some of our first photos from the trip…
