Hawaii

Last week, my parents took the family to Hawaii. It was a bit stressful with the idea of traveling with a baby, but our fears were calmed as she slept most of the way from California to Kauai. And how grateful we are for that. Hawaii is a lot less relaxing with a baby, but it was still just as fun! And I got to spend much more time reading than I have in the past. And I loved that.

We are so grateful to my parents for taking us to Hawaii. It was fun to be with the family. Even though I was probably dramatic and emotional (mostly nervous) about the whole trip. But it was fun to be with the family. Always is. And we love our family reunions.
