Oahu, May 9 2010

on our last day we went to Hanauma Bay and Pearl Harbor. Both incredible places. We were able to see a few of the things at Pearl Harbor. We made it to late to go to the USS Arizona memorial but saw what you could see above ground. We went to the USS Missouri battle ship and were able to do the tour. That ship is awesome. So big too. It was neat to see the spot where the japanese surrendered and see a part of history.

Hanauma Bay was a beautiful place to go too. We were able to go snorkeling there and see lots of fish. The life guards said the visibility was poor but you could still see lots of fish. I am a wimp when it comes to snorkeling. I am paranoid that something will "get" me so I was a little panicked while snorkeling which leads to exhaustion. It was still fun even though I was scared. Rob was fearless and went all over.

After we saw our last sights we headed to the airport for a redeye flight home only to arrive at 7 am and be thrown into the life a parenthood. Rob had to head out of town for work the day after we got back and life was back to normal. It was a wonderful trip. It was a slap in the face to come back to reality and be a mom of 3 little kids again. Taylor didnt even want to come to me for a short while after we got home. I felt horrible. Especially since I was gone for mothers day. I cried when I talked to them on the phone. I missed them. It is great to be back.
