Aloha!

We arrived in Kona on Christmas, so I guess this should say Kona 2009/2010, but I am lazy. lol


The things you see at the side of the road during the holidays! As you know, Jesus is the reason for the season...there was also a banner at this house that said "Celebrate Jesus".


No trip to Hawaii with our family is complete without a $600 stop at Costco to fill the fridge and liquor cabinet. Kevin also had a full cart!





Drinks on the lanai.




Kels & I made some yummy sangria...Kels had a weak wrist when it came to the Ketel One.



Tequila shots and rap karaoke came out one night.


So did all the freaks!




One of the best meals of my entire life at Jackie Rey's Ohana Grill. Seriously, it was unreal! Ahi tuna and mahi mahi.



Weird flowers that reminded me of trumpets.


Only in Hawaii!


Got to see lots of endangered sea turtles up close.


They were really beautiful.


Endangered sea turtle sushi...ha ha jk...the musubi combo at L & L. Yes, one of those is SPAM! And yes, it was DELICIOUS!


New Years at Lulu's





Downtown Kona.


Luau at the Fairmont...soooo yummy!


Hanging at the lava pools near Hilo.




One of our many delicious feasts.
Hapuna Beach.


Sandwich sweat shop at the beach!


Beach at Mauna Lani Resort.


We took full advantage of these loungers!


On the last day we were there most of the beaches were closed because of high surf.
