Oahu trip pictures

We had a fabulous time on Oahu...enjoying the sunshine and rest and relaxation! We were there with our good friends the Hewitts: Trevor, Carissa, Wade & Dean. We could've stayed...but reality and home called...so home we are. We'll treasure the memories and look forward to our next visit to the island...

Some interesting coincidences from our trip:
* Both Carissa and I had friends from our hometowns on the island at the same time we were there.
* Carissa posted pics on facebook and one of her friends recognized our family - turns out she is Natalia's Girl Scout leader, and we hadn't made the connection previously!
* We got on our shuttle at SeaTac to take us back to our car Thursday night at 10:30 pm and who should be on the very same shuttle, but my cousin Sara and her husband Mike. What are the chances...?

Christina, which part of Oahu was your condo on? We're going in Sept. to Maui and plan to spend a couple days on Oahu too, up at Turtle Bay Resort on the North shore. The condo's you stayed in look really family friendly so might be a great place to bring the kids back to some day!:) Great picts!

Hi Traci,
Our condo was in the Ko'Olina area, on the leeward side of the island (think warmer and sunnier!). It was awesome and the protected lagoons were great for swimming and snorkeling and quite safe for the kids (and big people too!) Happy planning!

The moments, the days, the joys of Rob, Christina, Natalia & Johanna
