2008 is Great





ALOHA!

This has been a great year for our family. Our favorite memory from early in the year is our big trip to Hawaii. We took Brinley, Alyssa and Jordan in 2002, but it has been so long that they could barely remember. We started planning the trip back in July 06 because we wanted to use Skymiles to Maui and at the time availability was a problem. We ended up renting a condo in Ka'anapali, which is on the north west side of the island. We went at the end of February, which is a great time to escape the Utah Winter and especially this year because of all the storms, including the super blizzard that trapped Wendy and Brinley in the Sequoia for 3 hours only 1/2 mile from our home, anyway, that is another posting. One of the best part of the trips were all the humpback whales that we could see breaching and jumping out of the water, almost whereever we went. These are incredible animals and to seem them in their habitat was amazing. Wendy actually got some great video of whales breaching, which we will attempt to post. Anway, Maui was awesome, and our kids loved it. Matt thinks we should to go Hawaii every January--great idea.
