16-28 Jun - Grandmother and Grandfather Visit

Where's the summer going?

To catch up: Grandmother and Grandfather jumped on the now familiar nonstop Delta from Atlanta for their fourth trip to Oahu'. Not a bad trend for two years time.

Having seen most of the islands highlights this was a bit more laid back visit. I managed some time off and Kim and I got to sneak out for a couple of nights. Our first night together without the boys in about 21 months.

So the visit was more about visiting and that was kind of nice.

Just a collection of pictures from our time around the house and out and about.

Lots of time at the neighborhood pool. We give Granddaddy a 9.0.

We love this set of pictures. Hanging out on the lanai during Andy's piano practice. What was the conversation? What is Zach annoyed with? Why is everyone making such a funny face?


Swimming at the Hale Koa

We ventured out to Kaena Point State Park for a hike. Kaena Point is the northwest corner of Oahu. There used to be plantations and even a railway out towards the point for bringing produce to the nearby town of Haleiwa. Railway and agriculture are gone (lack of market, tsunamis). The Air Force now operates a satellite tracking station on mountains out on the point.
