"Laying around all day sure takes a lot out of you"

Mele Kalikimaka!

We are in beautiful Hawaii! Upon landing Sunday afternoon we were all shocked to see how much Hawaii resembles Penang. It's kind of weird to be in a tropical climate, but still in America. At times it looks like we could be in Malaysia or Singapore, but it's America. Everyone speaks English and drives orderly.


We went to Pearl Harbor yesterday. It was amazing to think of the thousands of people that lost their lives, and the hundreds still entombed in the USS Arizona. I love to travel and live in other parts of the world, but I'm proud to be an American. A lot of people have sacrificed so much so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have.



There are some amazing views and sunsets in Hawaii..


And some pretty hideous ones too. (look in the background...yes, we laughed and took photos because we Gaddis's are just like that)


Here we are boogie boarding.


I made a new friend while walking around Waikiki


Jordan looks pretty hot huh?


More to come later.
