Hawaii....WOW what a beautiful place in January!!!

Because I have the most wonderful mother in law, Beth I was able to take a trip to Maui in early January(She isisnt just wonderful because of this trip eithier, she always has been wonderful!!). Beth, won a trip through Silpada Designs along with my mother and many other women. Each women who earns the trip gets to take a guest and for the second (previously went to Cabo San Lucas in 2006 on this trip) time my mother in law invited me to go with her and obviously my dad went with my mom.
Unfortunatly Beth was unable to go on the trip because my sister in law, Jenn (Josh's brother, Andy's wife) was due with there second child and she didnt want to miss it. (I dont blame her...she is a super mimi who wouldnt miss that!) Sooo I didnt think I would be able to go without her due to Silpada rules however the day before the plane left I got the go ahead soooo off I went to Hawaii! What a wonderful treat for a mommy, a week away from the real life of being a mom and wife, to stay in a beautiful hotel room with a King bed all to myself and daily trips to the beach, pool, shopping, beautiful walks and a little adventure too! (Don't get me wrong I missed Josh and Owen SOOO much! But it was a nice break and I was thrilled to be home after 6 days!) SO here are a few photos of beautiful Hawaii....oh and Josh....we WILL be going the two of us someday:)

Oh...my adventures included....laying out at the beach, spotting whales in the ocean daily from our pool, boat trip for snorkeling (saw large sea turles, big fish, huge whales, and spinner dolphins!!..AWESOME!!), biking down the largest volcano in Hawaii..Mount Haleakala, attending a few Silpada dinners with all the winners of the trip, water slides in the pool, and attending the Mercedes Benz PGA Championship Golf Tournament!

It was a wonderful trip, lots of fun with my parents and whale season was definatly a great time to go to Hawaii!
