We turned in early the night before because Phil had a full day planned for the next day.   Starting at 2:30 am! [Gulp].   Thankfully, the 3-hour time difference worked in our favor and it wasn’t *too* difficult to get everyone up and ready to go. Depending on who you ask. Plus we had the kids wear comfy regular clothes to bed the night before so all they had to do in the morning was wake up and brush teeth. And also get into our rented mini-van where they could go back to sleep during the two hour drive. Not that they did, but the option was fully theirs…

The next day, Phil arranged for us to come here:                                                                              

Then we hit the beach! The beautiful, beautiful beach. We could’ve stayed there all day. In fact, we actually did!                                                                                                                                        

                                                        More to come…

Then came the time we took a trip to Hawaii! Ka’anapali Beach in Maui, to be exact.
