Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Hawaiian style!
Thankfulness can be found in many ways...ours just happen to be with family and some place a little warmer than here! We just returned from Kauai with my parents. It was a wonderfully relaxing week. It was our first time to meet our new niece, Ashlyn, and see my brother and his wife. Some eat turkey we say, fish tacos! Okay, we did miss the traditional meal, but it was nice to not be so stuffed and tired. Our trip was a great time for everyone. Stay tuned for a slideshow of pics!

Happy Birthday
