Vacation Plans


You'll remember in a previous post that I was suffering from a case of vacation fever. I am happy to say that has passed because we have made some plans. While we were discussing our ideas and possible Disney trip. We had concerns of taking the babies there with them being so young and would it really be worth it if they won't even remember it? I jokingly said to Mike "How about we have your Mom fly out and stay with the boys and you and I just go to Hawaii for a week?" I never in a million years thought he would agree. But his response was "sounds good to me, why not?" And so I thought about it and he's right, "why not?" It's something we've always talked about but never gave it a definite answer of when. It was always just "someday".

We called Grandma Braska and got her on board. And started looking at rates and found some that fit the budget we had in our heads for Disney. So this fall we are going to Hawaii! Our plane tickets and hotel rooms with an ocean view are booked. We'll be deciding on activities as we go. We are staying the entire time in Oahu, however I've been looking at some inter island flights to do a day trip to Maui as well. I am so excited!

And not to worry, we did think about the kids too and made some definite plans for future trips. Next year will be our Seattle trip that was postponed this year, and then Disneyland in 2012! Caleb will be 8 by then and the twins will be 4 so it seems like a more reasonable time. So assuming everything is going well at that time, it's on! No more excuses. So anyone interested in a little Disney 2012 trip, let us know and we'll plan together!

SOOOO jealous! You'll have such a blast! We went to Oahu a few years ago and it's seriously amazing. You'll love it! Just make sure to get out of the city and explore the whole island! And DEFINITELY do the Poly Cultural center. It's a MUST. The luau there wasn't that great, but the night show is spectacular!

Good plan! You will love Hawaii. We have been to Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the big island Hawaii. They are each unique and totally awesome.
