Aloha!

Last week I took my first trip without the little bear. It was a short, 4 day trip to Hawaii to surprise my good friend Elaine for her 30th birthday! I was so excited to see Elaine and her hubby, Dennis. We have missed them like CA-RAZY since they left the mainland a few years ago. Elaine is one of those amazing friends where it doesn't matter how long it's been, we always pick up right where we left off like no time has passed at all. Although I missed the boys, I couldn't have possibly had a better time. Such a good time, in fact, that Brian was super jealous and decided it would probably be a good idea to visit them again in June. I would have to say that's a brilliant plan. :-)

Isn't their house adorable?! Even their doorbell is way CUTE. Oh, and notice Diamond Head in background? Pretty cool, eh?

Christina, on the left, is another good friend of Elaine's who flew out from San Francisco to surprise her. We had such a blast together. Only wish I had more pics of the three of us!
