We found out last Christmas that the whole Mortensen clan would be going to Hawaii! The wait from December 2013 to August 2014 was rough, but, most days, the anticipation was the only thing that got me through Spring and Summer classes. Needless to say, Monday morning at 3:30 I was extremely excited. The Delta flight attendant said, "woah, you are way too awake this morning." "I'm going to Hawaii!"

We stayed at this perfect condo on the Southwest side of Oahu.
I forgot to get a picture! :( It was perfect for our stay! It had a full kitchen with all appliances. Our first stop was good ol' Costco to get groceries for the week. Costco is a great land.
(Costco samples in Hawaii are the same as samples in Utah. In my mind they would be poi and coconut and fish. But, alas, jello and pretzel hot pocket thing.)

The kids stayed at the condo, while Steve's parents stayed at a hotel a few blocks away. Connected to this hotel were these lagoons. We spent the second day relaxing at the lagoons. Hello, horrible sun burn. on the second day. Apparently, when your skin hasn't seen the sun in a year a single application of SPF 50 is not good enough for this fair skinned girl.

That night we went out to a nice dinner and the gardens connected to the restaurant. It was a beautiful beginning to our trip!
