The Great Alaskan Honas: Hawaii

Aloha. This is the Hawaii blog. We recently went to Oahu to celebrate Kris's 30th birthday. It was sort of last minute (within a month) and i had to do some cajoling to get Kris to take 4 days of vacation (he is so stingy) by telling him he didn't want to be depressed celebrating his 30th in the snow and cold. Instead we had cake for breakfast as we watched to waves crash on the beach. Pretty good to me.

So we had a great trip. Bronson was great on the way down, slept for 1 hour of the 6 hour flight but wasn't too squirmy and didn't have a blow out! We had a one bedroom condo and a pack-n-play. It was a 2 hour time difference for bronson so he was up at 5-6 am every day. We went to bed pretty early the whole time we were there. Life changes with a kiddo. No late night pog juice cocktails....bed by 8pm please!

We did several hikes in the new backpack. I had actually purchased this a year ago when bronson was in my belly in anticipation of fun times like these, It worked great. Kris did most of the heavy lifting, a 5 miler being the longest. We spent time on the beach and kris and I even finished a book...i feel like that is a monumentous accomplishment. We bought a little beach tent for bronson to nap in and it worked pretty good. That and SPF 50 sunscreen Bronson did not get sunburned, unlike his mother.

One of the coolest things was that we got to see some cousins that were over there visiting as well. Cousin Katie from Charleston (my dads sister kid) and cousin adam from idaho (my moms brother kid).

Bronson had fun celebrating easter- he really enjoyed the plastic easter eggs and kris had a great 30th. He got presents, sushi, cake, and sunshine. Just an FYI, we are planning on repeating this for my 30th next year and the more the merrier
