Winter Fun in Hawaii

Lori and I like to take a week around our aniversary (29 years on Feb 28) and go somewhere warm. This year we went to Hawaii and took what kids could go with us. Trevor and Melissa spent 4 days with us and Brett and Joey spent the whole time. We were able to spend 11 days this year, It took Lori 4 days to unwind. The first 4 days was spent on Oahu on the north side of the Island. The trade winds were stong and constantly blowing but were able to spend some quailty time out doors. 2 of the days we hung out and the other two days we did some golf and the Polynesian Cultural Center (same day) and at Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was travel Day so Lori and I and the two youger boys left for Maui and Trevor and Melissa did some shopping and eating while waiting for their charriot home. I was able to get some good pictures and here is a few of the many. We did hike up to Waimea Falls and was able to swim in the pool, did a bunch of wave watching and reading and just about taking it easy with a little golf thrown in for me....
