Hawaii Part III

We spent the remainder of our trip lounging around the resort,

visiting the new Disney hotel,

drinking lots of Diet Coke on the beach,

{not really my thing but definitely a Barker fam fav.}

paddle boarding

and going sailing/snorkeling.

I have an obsession for boats that is probably not healthy.

It all started at Lake Powell and is now moving to the ocean.

I sat on the bow like a little kid and took every minute in.

The sea is just magical to me.

As if it couldn't get any better -

nearly a dozen dolphins began swimming along the side.

Pinch me.

I was devastated that I didn't have my camera handy -

but thrilled I got to take it all in.

We wrapped up our vacation at Pearl Harbor.

Although we had little time to enjoy the sites,

I was actually really happy that we decided to finish the vacation at such a remarkable place.

It was humbling to think of that dreadful day and how very blessed we are to have our freedoms.

I must thank the Barker's for this incredible trip.

We are oh so spoiled and know how much this trip meant to you.

For us, it was an absolute joy.

No, we did not have to go to Hawaii to enjoy family time.

We enjoy your company wherever we are.

But boy-oh-boy was it a blast.

As for Hawaii, we hope to be lucky enough to visit your shores again.

Which is why it is only fitting to say, with an oomph of hope and a bit of doubt, goodbye and hello.

Or of course, 

Aloha.
