Hawaii Holidays

We just got back from an amazing trip to Hawaii. The first week of the our trip we stayed on the Big Island with my family. Then we headed over to Oahu for a few days with Holly to top our Hawaiian vacation off. Here are a few highlights from our trip.

Branson was a trooper he just tagged along everywhere in his stroller or the Baby Bjorn.

The first couple days that we were home it snowed non stop. I was not impressed and I am still trying to convince Josh that we should move to Hawaii. I don't think he is falling for it. Oh well, my mom informed us all we needed to go home so we could go back. I guess I will hold onto that for now.

Welcome Back!! It looks like you had an amazing trip! I love the pictures of Branson. :) You're going to turn him into a beach bum! :)

Jealous! That is what I am. Looks like I have failed as an uncle though. I didn't provide my little nephew with sunglasses for the trip!! Well, now you will have to go on another tropical vacation in order to give me another chance to pull through! Miss you guys.

Your mom is right, you should go to Kauai next if you like Hawaii... just got back from there in September and it was VERY relaxing. Kauai is very different from the other islands because there aren't really any large cities, just small towns and it is all very very laid back. The whole purpose is to just have a "leisure" holiday where you don't do too many activities and opt for sunbathing at the beach! :) Haven't seen you in awhile so I'm glad to see you're having happy family times! ~Lisa Bixenmann
