I really didn’t mean to. But I let it happen…somehow I let two weeks pass by without a blog post! Blame it on vacation, blame it on the Maui sunshine, blame it on the need for/want of a break. But we’re back home, settled, and getting reacquainted with the winter blues but warmed by Hawaiian memories from the past little while… For this trip, my mom took her first flight in over thirty years! My parents almost made it to Hawaii for their honeymoon but didn’t, promising to go again another time…well, it took until now and I’m so glad they came and my mom braved her fears. We shared a condo for twelve days, cooked most of our own meals, and hopped around the island, trying to take in as much as we could. My birthday fell during our time there, which conveniently also happened to be Super Bowl Sunday. I am ever so grateful to our team, the Seahawks, for giving us a fantastic win and thereby making my birthday a happy one! We saw whales everyday and turtles too, but fortunately, no sharks. Baby loved the daily ice cream indulgences and I may have doubled my pregnancy weight gain. We appreciated what will most likely be our last vacation before baby, and dreamed of the day we can bring him or her back to play in the sand. Aloha, Hawaii!
