Leaving Paradise :(

Well, There it is our whole trip in a large nutshell!! I'm using this as our trip scrapbk/journal, so there's a lot to document, plus we want to remember every little bit of it!! We had such a blast and still can't believe it was real, and we were really in paradise for 10 whole days without any kids just livin it up with friends. We were able to webcam with our kids every other day so we saw them lots too; that helped with being away from them. Thanks Mom & Dad R, & Mom & Dad M, we couldn't have done it without ya! We had such a great time that we've all decided we are starting trip reunions now, we were thinking every 5 yrs reunion trip w/couples, but now we are all thinking in 2 yrs instead since we had such a blast and can't wait to go back!!



On our last day the guys went golfing one last time in the morning, so Rachelle & I went over to a snorkeling cove by our resort and hiked in their for the morning


Then we went back and took pictures of the guys golfing on the Palmer Course at Turtle Bay



This was our cheaufer golf cart that took us out to our guys

We went back and checked out of our resort, they gave us these hawaiian kukui nut necklaces as we left.

view from our room

we stopped at Turtle Beach on our way back into Honolulu and there were 2 turtles up on the sand

We ate at P.F. Changs before we left Paradise for our plane,Yum!
We are definitely sad to have left, but glad we are home, and also ready to go back!!

Okay, so much jealousy I can't even tell you! How much dang fun is that?!? I have never been to Hawaii and feel totally cheated, but these pics are making me scheme up something. Mason will listen right?
It looks absolutely gorgeous, of course, it's Hawaii! What a culture shock to come home I'm sure! I'll have to get the whole scoop next time I run into you. We haven't been to open gym since the first of summer, but cooler weather is headed our way...

So much fun! I just looked over your last few entries. You summed it all up!! I still haven't finished mine but am the same as you...I want to put it all on in detail because this is my journal. Thanks again for the invite and the fun memories!

I finally got my pictures up at least and it was as I expected...DEPRESSING!! It took me SO long that I didn't even write any comments yet! Oh well! Hope you guys have a Happy Halloween!

Ok, so not only can you use your blog as a scrapbook, but did you know that there are companies out there who will turn your blog posts into a real book aka scrapbook.

I don't know a specific one, but I am goign to do it at Christmas this year.
