HAWAII

So.  Remember how Alex got to make a wish with the Make A Wish Foundation?  His wish was a trip to Hawaii.

And a few weeks ago, that wish came true.
We left on June 6th and came back on the 13th.  When we first heard that those were the dates we were going, I thought "Only a week?  That's not gonna be long enough."  But I think it was just perfect.  It was one week of letting the ocean waves lap at our sand-covered feet.  One week of lying on beach towels and staring at the blue sky and green palm trees above us.  A week of eating by the pool and lazing in the hotel room.  It was fabulous.

Other adventures?  The Honolulu Zoo, the Sea Life Park, the Polynesian Cultural Center.  Our birthday.  Eating at Coldstone almost every day.  Watching fireworks on Waikiki beach.  Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.
Alex was kinda sick for a few days.  But that didn't stop us.  He still had a really great time.  I think it was the perfect fit for him.
