We're in HAWAII!


I can't tell you how many times people have said, "Oh you're so lucky!" or "I wish I could go with you!" when we would tell them we were moving to Hawaii. After one week here I can honestly say they were right to be jealous! (wink wink)
We don't have a house yet and since last week was a short work week for the military (due to Veterans Day) Dave hasn't had to officially report to work yet, so we have just been cruising around the island checking out our new surroundings and seeing some of the sights.
We visited the USS Arizona Memorial. It was a very somber but beautiful experience.

We have also had the chance to visit the North Shore a couple of times. The first time we went to Hale'iwa beach and the next Waimea Bay. I've never had so much sand in so many places it SHOULDN'T be! YIKES! But we had a lot of fun playing in the waves and Kylee shared the new body-surfing board she got for her birthday.

We are hoping to be in a house here on post sometime next week. As much fun as this "vacation" has been, we are ready to find a place to call home.

Wow! It looks beautiful! But how rude to rub it in our faces...we should be jealous? (hehehe) I must say though being in the military as long as you guys have I think you deserve Hawaii!
