Aloha

Mom surprised Dad with a trip to Hawaii for his 30th birthday...they went with Robert (his best friend) and wife Neeley.  I tried to sneak in the suitcase. :)

About to board the first flight...

Pretty spectacular views from the hotel!

 First dinner at Longboard's Restaurant...

Take 1

 Take 2

They hiked to a real waterfall called Manoa Falls (parts of this rainforest were filmed in Jurassic Park).

Bamboo Forest

Mom and Dad's favorite hike of the week!

The first of many rainbows...

They took a morning to go visit Pearl Harbor...a truly moving experience.

On the USS Arizona Memorial...

Mom and Dad got a great workout hiking up to the top of KoKo Crater!

Amazing 360 degree views!

They went to an authentic luau show where mom and Neeley enjoyed the wreaths of flowers.

I sent Daddy a pic of me on his 30th birthday so they wouldn't forget how cute I was.

Yummy last seafood dinner at Chuck's...and a pic in front of the giant Christmas tree in the lobby.

Daddy had to try the red velvet pancakes with white chocolate at a famous breakfast place called Cinnamon's.

The rainbow's end.
