Aloha!

We just got back to Yokosuka after a warm and wonderful trip to Hawaii. Josh had a conference there and Elise and I were able to meet him and then have some family vacation time together! The weather was beautiful and we got to see and do so many things; here are a few highlights...

Elise got to dip her feet into the Pacific on several occasions! It was a little too cool for her liking; she seemed to prefer splashing in the warm tidal pools instead.

Eating butter and garlic shrimp at Giovanni's shrimp truck on the North Shore - yum!


Josh and I got a fun date night while my mom babysat Elise! Yay!


We had the chance to visit the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.

Here we are climbing through an old WWII lookout on our hike to the top of Diamond Head.

During our stay at the North Shore we had several amazing hikes. This one was to Laie Falls on the windward coast.
