Aloha!

Right after Allison's graduation, we took a family vacation to the North Shore of Oahu. The weather was just beautiful and we were able to do some of our favorite activities there too. Something we all enjoy doing is having a picnic dinner at Sunset Beach. Cousin Tat was able to join us here for dinner and we were able to spend a good amount of time with her during our vacation. Thanks for showing us so many great places, Tat!
Of course, no trip to the North Shore is complete without numerous trips to Matsumoto's Shave Ice in Hale'iwa. Always a treat!
We decided to take a quick trip to the Big Island. We drove to Hawaii Volcano National Park and stayed at the Kilaeua Military Camp. Driving on the Crater Rim Road was so interesting to see where the road just ends because of the lava flow in 2002. We all found the Big Island so unique.
The view across Turtle Bay is always so lovely. What a relaxing vacation! Hawaii is just a gorgeous state. We have such great memories!
On the last day, the girls decided to go skydiving. Something they have all wanted to do. It was located at Dillingham Airfield on Kaena Point. The girls all had huge smiles on their faces once they landed. What a great experience!
