Surprised!

Needless to say, the kids were ecstatic! They both thought we were teasing them -- and really thought we were just going to visit So. Cal. When they finally realized their actual destination -- after reading their boarding tickets that said "Honolulu" -- they were thrilled! We had so much fun!

Pink and White Polka-Dot-Toes

Sissy and I had to make one last stop before we headed out and the nail salon it was! I wish I was not too old for pink and white polk-a-dot toes! They will look great in flip flops!

And We're Off !

Well, the day is finally here ... we are packed and ready to go! The kids still think we are going down to southern California to play on the beaches for a week. Little do they know we are off to Hawaii! It has been a hard few months trying to keep this a secret from the kids! We have both slipped here and there mentioning Hawaii -- but they have not caught on, or so we think! It seems as if we have spent way more money getting stuff ready for vacation than the actual trip has cost us -- you know you always need enough pairs of chonies for everyone (no washer and dryer in a hotel room)! We are also trying not to pack too much, because we don't want to pay an extra $25.00 per bag! We cannot wait to be over there and enjoying the weather!
