The Fowler Family Blog

So, where do we begin?  Hawaii was great!  Traveling with a baby is definitely more work than without, but he was a trooper!  He has been on every possible mode of public transportation including a high speed ferry from Japan to Korea! 

There wasn’t much time for really relaxing or doing anything really adventurous, but we were glad that we went for sure!  Cormac loved swimming and it was beautiful there!  It was a bit strange being back in the States and we experienced some reverse culture shock, so it was probably a good introduction before our move back in August.  Does a Kmart store really need 25 checkouts???  You have to wait in line for 10 minutes to try clothes on at a store?  Granted we were in some busy areas, but seriously!?  we have gotten used to a slower pace of life, so it will be an adjustment when we go back. 

We tried getting a good family picture several times and I think this one was the best one. 

While in Oahu we visited the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.  It was so poignant- we think every American should visit it.  It also made living overseas seem more worthwhile in some way. 

In Kauai we visited several popular locations including Spouting Horn and the Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of Hawaii”.

I’m bummed these pictures are so foggy.  It was breathtakingly gorgeous!

This was the Na Pali lookout.  Amazing!

For those of you that haven’t been to Hawaii.  We highly recommend going there!  We loved Maui a few years ago and now we think Kauai is our new favorite island.  If you are going to travel there, let us know and we can give you tips on where to stay, and eat, etc…

Oh my goodness this is sweet!  Cormac just realized that he’s ticklish!  And he’s starting to try to crawl.
