Vacation Diary... Day 6 in Hawai'i

(September 22nd, 2008)

This was the official sleep in day. The day when we actually didn't have anything going on...SLOW day... Of course, we went to Hilo since it's the closest place with much to do. Made the usual stop into Starbucks before heading over to Walmart. Checked out the UH fangear selection... Can you believe that they actually have the most stuff??? Kalani got the first of her UH stuff (yes, I said the first...). Ran into 1/2 of my family there, since some of them were flying back to the outer islands that day out of Hilo.

After that, took the 4-mile drive down to Richardsons, cause they have one of the nicest bays in Hilo for the kids to swim at. I swear, they'd stay in there ALL DAY if I didn't make them get out. They kids snorkeled around for awhile, saw some fishes and stuff.

We had to head home early because my mom and dad were having a BBQ for my cousin Greg who was leaving back to Illinois the next day. So once again, another good meal... This is becoming a pattern here... The best part about our family gatherings has to be having my Grandma Alice around still. She's almost 95 years old, and makes my day everytime that I see her. Second to her would be the rest of my family who are an absolute blast to be around!!!
