sunday

we went to church. had willow's second baby dedication. ate korean food for lunch. then spent some time with beth's friend's family. the best part of the day came when we got to go on a date compliments of my in-laws. we went to see the movie atonement. it was pretty good. then we ate here.

beach again

its like one big happy communal tub


willow feet and a lei


beth and willow and the waikiki strip
apparently willow has been reading shakespeare

we went to waikiki today after a failed attempt to go to ko olina, which had zero parking. the water was perfect and willow enjoyed it. turns out she's something of a waterbug. i accidentally saw some old ladies' chest. apparently she forgot that she unstrapped her swimsuit top and rolled over just enough to ruin my day. beth went out with a friend tonight so i'm here with willow who is sleeping. hooray for that. i'm going to go read for a little bit.

post about traveling

get up 6:00 am.. frantically pack. drive to sacramento airport and arrive at 7:30. check in luggage, take off our shoes, go through security. get a breakfast sandwich at burger king. gross i know. board the plane to pheonix. what- why pheonix, how do you spell that anyway? arrive in phoenix 2 hours later and wait 4 hours for flight to honolulu. pace like crazy with baby on back. board flight to honolulu with dirty obnoxious man behind us. fly 6 hour with baby being passed from lap to lap... its your turn. but it just was my turn. finally arrive in honolulu. lots of hugs. eat zippy's chili. mmmmmm.....

10,000 days and san francisco

today we went to san francisco and i turned 10,000 days old. what a day. we saw the golden gate, that "crookedest" road in the world, fisherman's warf and the sea lions, and ended it all with a dinner at the stinking rose, which brags the world's longest garlic braid (it was about 900 feet long). we also got to see cousins, dave & sarah who live in san fran, which was awesome. oh and we met the white witch in an elevator. she scolded my brother in law- he was holding willow and she said, "you be careful with that beautiful head!" i kept expecting her to offer us turkish delights.

vacation

well we survived willow's first flight. she had minimal ear pain, but pretty much refused to sleep, so her schedule is all out of whack now. we suffered for that last night- she woke up every hour on the hour. i think beth and i had more ear pain than her. so now we are in sacramento visiting my brother-in-law, waiting for cousins and aunts and uncles to come see us, and then going to pei wei. i love that place.
