  • Hawaii…..Aloha!!

    Our trip was interesting with a side of fun to go with it. This was the first time for the children to fly. After six flights, I think they got the gist of it! We went on several tours aournd the island of Oahu that included Pearl Harbor and the memorial of the Arizona, a hike up Diamond Head Crater, various beaches and the Polynesian Cultural Center. We went snorkeling, surfing, sailing on a catamaran boat and swimming. I am so glad to be back! 

     

    I will have to spread the pics and videos out over the next few days…..

  • Woot for a grand holiday, but it’s always good to be home for a  fried catfish dinner. : )

  • Thanks for stopping by and checking out, me? He he I would be more concerned if you didn’t. Sure hope I passed inspection. But you could leave a good ole southern fried down home greeting once in awhile. : ) Your holiday looks to have been a wonderful time. Enjoy your weekend.
