THE VISIT!

We just dropped Grandma Karen off at the airport tonight - so we finally have some time to start posting some pics and memories from an awesome holiday visit from Kristen's family. In addition to g-ma Karen, we had her brother Shannon, his wife Becky, and 11 year-old Simon out for Christmas.

The first really full day of excitement started out with a trip downtown to pay our respects to King Kamehameha:

And see some Christmas decorations:





Followed by a visit to Da Kine Bail Bonds (more pics of this later :)

A stop by the Dole plantation...

And capped off by a honu sighting and a stunning sunset at Lani's on the North Shore:







The night unfortunately ended with the untimely demise of the faithful 1999 Subaru Forester (RIP):

MUCH more to come...

As the family car for so many years the Forester is much like a beloved pet. So - sure, kids - the Forester is "ok" - it just doesn't "live" with us anymore. It's out happily driving around off-road on a nice little farm that's not too far from here - but not so close that we could ever visit...
