Our last two days in Hawaii we squeezed in some more beach and snorkel time. Friday Zach's Dad and Big Brother Sonny and his daughter Zeza came to stay at our hotel. Friday night we all surprised Zach's cousin Maile and her family at a business they run. That turned into a fun reunion dinner at Zach's Auntie Debbie and Uncle Boe's home. They were so gracious and it was so fun getting to know then all a little bit more.
Saturday was our last day. It was sad but full. While I ran to the beach one last time, Zach was a sweetheart and packed up our room. Once we checked out we headed into town to see the Kona Hawaii Temple. Like every other temple, it was peaceful and beautiful.
Uncle Sonny and Zeza took us to a open market to help us pick out souvenirs for the kids. They had a wedding to go to so we parted ways, it sure was nice spending some time with them.
Next stop was Mars. Just kidding but I bet it would feel somewhat similar to Mount Mauna Kea. It is desolate up there, and hard to get to. The road up is bumpy and steep but the view is incredible. Just hanging out with the clouds, just an ordinary day.
After Mauna Kea we headed to take Zach's Dad home and prepare for our flight home. It was sad to watch Zach say goodbye to his Dad. The love there is strong and it was really nice to see.
Zach's Brother Sonny and Zeza surprised us at the airport to say goodbye it really was nice of them, I know Zach loved getting to see his brother one last time.
That was it for us. Such a great trip. I was able to see from whom and where Zach came from and getting to know Zach's Dad better really helped me know my husband better. Getting to spend alone time was good for our marriage and good for my soul for sure. We took the red eye home and it was a bumpy flight and I might have sent up a few prayers for safety. (I hate flying) I just kept thinking about my kidos, I couldn't wait to go see them and show them all the fun stuff we got in Hawaii for them. Just a quick shout out, trip made possible by the amazing and talented Grandparents in Vegas. My Dad and Stepmom took the girls for a night and day and then of course my mom used a week of her vacation time to watch my kids. She really is the best!!
