I have finally found the time to post pictures of our final day in Hawaii...which also happend to be Dan's 40th birthday! We didn't fly out until 6 pm...so we had plenty of time for some fun! First we jumped in our pool...
And then we headed next door to the Fairmont Orchid for breakfast.
The birthday boy...
A view from the breakfast terrace...
After breakfast, we jumped in our car and headed North to some towns we hadn't gone to before. It was just beautiful!!
Later on, we had lunch at a restraunt we had been trying to find all week! We were told it had authentic Hawaiian food... It was fantastic!
Best friends... I sure love my man!
When we got back around 1:30 we decided we had enough time to pack AND catch a last few rays of sunshine. (With the weather here at home today...I sure am glad we did that!!!)
Here is a sign we had been passing all week. It's not often that you find a "donkey crossing" sign. I don't know why I thought this was so funny...
I love airports in tropical locations... the "outdoor" kind... it just makes you feel like your vacation can last a few moments longer!
Our Hawaiian Air ride from The Big Island to Oahu...
This one is at Oahu International... waiting for our 9pm flight home. We were already tired...and we bought Unisom thinking it would help us sleep on the flight home. (This was 1 am Utah time) We thought that because neither of us had ever used a sleeping pill that maybe it would work... we thought wrong. There isn't a pill that can help you sleep in the "regular" seats on an airplane. Unless you are under 10 years old and are small enough to curl up in your chair. We tried to upgrade to first class... but they only had one seat left! Blasted!!!!!
UTAH!!!!! This is at 7:30 am when we landed in Salt Lake. We are on the shuttle to Diamond Parking. (It felt like 3:30 am to us!!!!) Poor Dan! The only reason we did this is because he really didn't feel like he could miss 2 Sunday's in a row. (What a responsible Bishop!!!) 2 hours later...after the ride home... a little time with the girls... and a quick shower... he was at the church for meetings...
And this is what we came home to! Our beautiful girls had decorated and made cards and posters for Dan's birthday!
