I went to Hawaii a couple weeks ago.  WAIT...did you hear that?!?  I WENT TO HAWAII!!!!  It really happened!  This has been one of my dreams for my life for a long time.  Then my baby sister moved there.  Then my parents bought me and my other sister tickets so we could go visit said baby sister.  IT WAS AWESOME!!!!  First I got to go to Hawaii.  Second of all I got to spend a week with my sisters.  Third it was Hawaii.  Fourth I got away from mommyville for a while (it was very hard, but also very wonderful.  Thanks to all who filled in for Gil and I during this week because as luck would have it Gil had to be in Philly for three days and wasn't able to experience a mini Honduras type single father thing.  But he did great and the kids did great and the grandparents and great grandparents did great and I did GREAT!).  Fifth I went to HAWAII!!!!
If you would like a complete annotated viewing of my approximately 700 photos please clear at least two hours of your time, line up a sitter, and let me know!  Gil will no longer be available to assist in viewings (he apparently has seen enough).  Sidenote:  our wedding contract included a trip to Hawaii which this trip did NOT fulfill.  I will be back beautiful islands.  I will be back!
Here is a sampling of the wonder which is Hawaii.
