we went to hawaii!

this month we had a major family milestone, our first trip to hawaii as a family of three!  the mr. and I haven't been since our honeymoon, so getting to go for our 11th wedding anniversary with our everly was pretty amazing.

to be honest, the thought of a trip to hawaii just always seemed out of reach for our budget.  however, turns out that a costco membership can really come in handy and made our island vacation dreams become a reality.  we are already semi-planning our next vacation!

I've been working like a crazy person since taking on an additional role to my teaching position.  and the long hours do come with a better salary, so it was time to play a little harder with the benefits of the hard work I put in during the school year.

it just seemed like the perfect age to take everly for the first time.  she LOVES the water, is an extremely capable swimmer, and is really easy to travel with.  and it turned out our hopes for the trip really became reality.  hopefully I can put together some more detailed posts on our trip soon.  this was our first time visiting the big island of hawaii, and I have some memories and special spots I want to remember for the future.

but for now, I'm just going to share our mini-film of the week on the big island.  we watched it last night on the 'big tv' and it was so fun to know we always will have this to look back on to remember this milestone trip.
