We have been looking forward to this trip ever since Andrew was assigned to Pearl Harbor almost two years ago. Yes we are VERY excited to be traveling west for several reasons--sunshine, Patrick, Jen, Peter, Betsy, Timothy, Andrew, Dani, sushine, beaches, oh yes and warm sunshine! We will be away for four weeks, three in Hawaii. Today is a travel day so nothing else to say. Glad to be leaving Baltimore and it's cold rainy temps for warm California and Hawaii sunshine! Glad to share our travels with you.Læs mere

It was a beautiful sunny day, in the 70s and it felt great. We are staying in an Air Bnb less than two miles from Patrick's apartment. It is just a bedroom and bathroom in the back of the house with a private entrance, We spent the morning with Jen and the kids, then took Peter and Betsy with us to Ash Wednesday service at their church. After lunch we all went to the Wildlife Learning Center. This was a return trip because we enjoyed it so much two years ago. It is small and you can see the animals pretty close up. There were monkeys, foxes, a lynx and a bobcat, eagles and owls and a parrot, tortoises, snakes, alligator, sloths and even a giraffe. The kids enjoyed it a lot. After a stop for ice cream on the way home, we spent the evening with the kids. Patrick had to return to church for the evening Ash Wed service, so Jen went too and we stayed with the kids, reading books and playing games. And we get to do it again tomorrow!Læs mere

Another day of fun in the California sun! Betsy and Peter were in school so Larry and I took Timothy to the park, letting Jen have a little time without kids. Timothy played hard. After lunch he had a nap and Betsy was home from school so we had some girl time. I painted her finger and toe nails a sparkly pink, then we strung some beads that were a gift from Aunt Katie. When Peter got home from school we all went to a park for some more outdoor time before going to eat out as a church fundraiser. Kids to bed and a little quiet time to chat.Læs mere

Larry and I decided to walk to the apartment from our Air bnb, just under 2 miles. Patrick picked us up halfway after dropping Jen off at work. Today Betsy was in school and Peter was home. I occupied Timothy with books and play while Peter, Larry and Patrick played Ticket to Ride. After Betsy came home and Timothy had a nap, we went to a favorite place, Descanso Gardens, for a walk. The gardens are kind of between seasons but it is still such an enjoyable place to spend some time. Spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, then patrick left for a one day, 2 night retreat at a nearby monastery with a few of his close friends. Larry and I walked the whole way back to our Air bnb. It was a nice walk, took us about 45 min.Læs mere

We woke up to a message from our Air bnb host that she had left warm pastries outside our door. By the time we hit up they were no longer warm but we put them in the microwave to get them warm again. Amazing homemade almond croissants, mmmmm they were good. Peter made us coffee when we got to their house, and then Jen, the kids, Larry and I went to Huntington Gardens, a huge place with many gorgeous gardens and several art museums. They had an outdoor children's activity area where the kids could create portraits, and they had a lot of fun with those. Timothy especially liked coloring with markers on clear plastic walls. Then Larry and Peter went to the American art museum and Jen, Betsy, Timothy and I went to the children's garden, which was amazing, well designed and clearly a favorite with many families there. We spent several hours there, then home to make homemade pizza on flatbread before watching the movie Moana. The kids were tired and were in bed before 7:30. We have enjoyed such wonderful, sunny, warm weather all week, so much nicer than the cool rainy februaries of the past two years. That is going to change tomorrow.......Læs mere

It's Sunday so we went to church at St Luke's Anglican church. It was chilly and a light rain was falling. Our host had left muffins on our doorknob this morning, not nearly as good as the croissants yesterday, but still a nice treat. After church and a light lunch, we just spent time with the kids. Played games while Timothy napped, as it was chilly and damp outside today. Picked up chinese food for dinner and enjoyed a homemade angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream for dessert. It was hard to say goodbye tonight, knowing it will be more than six months before we see them again. We checked into a hotel near the airport that had a shuttle, tomorrow we fly to Hawaii, via Oakland. A few pictures from previous days, none taken today.Læs mere

From Burbank to Oakland, to Honolulu to Kailua-Kona, it was a LOONNGG travel day. Talked to Dani while we had an hour in Honolulu, Andrew was on duty. The Kona airport was all outdoors, under thatched roofs, wish we had seen it in the daylight. It was after 11pm when we finally checked into our resort and parking was hard to find. And had to haul luggage up a flight of stairs. But we are in Hawaii, will be in Kona for eight nights before heading to the other side of the Big IslandLæs mere

Today was a chill day, sleeping late, enjoyed coffee on our balcony, unpacked, walked around the resort. They had a welcome party at the resort, we got leis-flowers for me, some kind of seed for Larry - there was a hula dancer and a native brother and sister who sang Hawaiian songs with guitar and ukelele. And they had puu-puu, an appetizer snack. It was nice and I was really happy to get such a beautiful Lei, since you don't get them at the airport anymore. We drove into downtown Kona to walk around for a little while, saw lots of restaurants and tourist shops and a gorgeous sunset on the beach. We are now relaxed and ready to see this island of Hawaii. Stay tuned, tomorrow should be fun!Læs mere

Today was such a fun day! We did something we have never done before - snorkeling! We went with Fair Wind cruises and it was such a wonderful experience. 45min ride out, with breakfast served and masks and fins were fitted. There was instruction on how to snorkel and then in we went! Although it was 84 degrees and sunny, the water was a little cool for me. But oh it was worth it. We were in Kealakekua Bay and the water was crystal clear. Saw so many varieties of tropical fish, and enjoyed the snorkeling a lot. There waa also a large pod of small spinner dolphins in the bay that put on quite a show for us the whole time we were there, breaching and spinning. The ships crew grilled burgers and dogs for us and after lunch, we headed back. On the way back we saw a humpback whale and lots of cute little flying fish that liked like birds. The crew was so helpful and attentive, the boat was user friendly, with stairs into the water and a couple water slides for fun. We did not go down the slide, sort of wishing I had tried it. They had masks with vision correction for my nearsightedness so we could see the fish clearly. After we got back we stopped by the farmers market for some fresh pineapple and watermelon. Then to the resort for a little rest before dinner outside on the patio of Kona Brewing Company. Nice place, good food. Another good day!Læs mere

This morning the resort offered a free Lei-making class, so off I went! It was fun and easy, and the instructor took some nice pictures. I am going to save it for greeting Dani(and Andrew) at the Hilo airport next week, she said they can last up to two weeks if kept refrigerated. Great use of orchids.... We went to YWAM Kona/University of the Nations, it is only half a mile from the resort. The tour guide never showed up so we drove around the campus and will try again tomorrow. Then we visited a couple of thrift stores(Larry is looking for cheaper Hawaiian shirts) and a quilt shop. Next stop, Larry dropped me off at a nail salon for a pedicure near Kona Brewing Company where he was going to do a Brewery tour and tasting. The salon he dropped me at did not take walk ins, so I walked a short distance down the street to another salon and had a nice relaxing pedicure, then went next door for some sushi before walking over to the Brewery to meet Larry. We went home, had something to eat and then went to the *Gathering* at the YWAM center, a weekly worship and teaching service. It was amazing to be there. When I was in YWAM in 1974, this center was a vision in the hearts of the leadership, and now to be here and see all that is being taught and the huge campus and facilities full of people, it was very moving for me.
Excited for a "family reunion" tomorrow!Læs mere
