Big Island

at the fancy Luau



We had an amazing time. Aric and I tried to see and do as much as we possibly could with two little ones…at the same time, we were able to relax, rest, and reconnect. This was Summer’s first trip and experience on an airplane. I’m so happy (and lucky) to say that she was a very pleasant traveler. Both girls seemed to really enjoy themselves: playing hard, eating heartily, and sleeping deeply every day/night!
It was exactly what I needed after months of not being myself. The warmth, the beauty, and peacefulness of paradise did wonders for me. *SIGH* It was PERFECT!
A NEVER-ENDING THANKS to Aric for always spoiling and loving me.
Highlights of our trip:
- the weather
- staying at the gorgeous Mauna Lani Resort
- glass bottom boat tour
- 2 hour helicopter tour of the active volcanos and the entire island (and that both kiddies quietly slept through it!). HA! ![]()
- watching the sunset every night
- Atlantis submarine tour
- Luau
- enjoying a 4 hour spa treatment! *AHHHH!* ![]()
- relaxing with Aric and the kids
Lowlights of our trip:
- being pulled aside for a secondary inspection at the airport (both going and returning).
- enduring extremely turbulent flights to and from
