Spring Break in Honolulu

Sunday we visited Dole Plantation and Joshua tasted his first pineapple juice - Yummy!
Joshua loved our hotel room - he could check on "his wheels" ANYTIME he wanted!
...even BEFORE breakfast!
We all enjoyed swimming in the hotel pool
Joshua did really well at Cheesecake Factory for lunch & especially enjoyed sipping Daddy's water


How's that for a good splash, Daddy?!
The lagoon was also perfect to swim in. It was shallow & calm, salt water with a nice beach. Joshua took to it right away!




We had to end on a high note - Cheesecake Factory again, take-out. Still very nice and a MUCH shorter wait than dining in during the peak of the Japanese tourist season, Golden Week
Joshua is following his Daddy's lead and trying to help with the luggage. A perfect gentleman in training
Not pictured: We all had our first ride in an AMBULANCE in the middle of the trip. I (Kendra) got food poisoning (or something), dehydrated quickly (due to my bad habit of not drinking enough on a daily basis) and then passed out for a few seconds. Fortunately, Jonathan kept me from getting hurt and had wisely put Joshua in his Pak-n-play, where he was happily playing while this all happened. My blood pressure was too low, so they took us all to the hospital by ambulance.
Thankfully, I recovered quickly with IV fluids and was able to resume normal eating the next day. An additional blessing was that Jonathan was able to move our return flight back two days (a happy Airline story for a change) and we could make up for the time lost and make sure I was truly up for the long flight home.
In all, it was a surprisingly fun & relaxing trip!
