Wow. Mom and Dad took me on a two week trip....to HAWAII!! We had SUCH a good time! Just a few of the highlights:
First of all...to get there, we had to take PLANES and anyone who knows me knows how much I love PLANES. I got to play with the iPad (Angry Birds! Barnie! and Friends!) for 9 whole hours!! Oh and a short nap.
The first two nights we stayed in this place with a weird name, "Waikiki", and we went to this cool place with lots of BIRDIEEEES and PUDDLESSS (Dad's note: historical context, Pearl Harbor Museum/Memorial, lost on Natalie)
We then took ANOTHER PLANE (so many planes!) to an island...called either "Hawaii" (yeah, I'm confused too) or "the Big Island" (creative, huh?) We spent a few days on the side of the mountain called a "volcano" where we went hiking (I got to ride on Daddy's back!!) and saw lots of cool lava and rocks and stuff. The cabin was pretty awesome, hidden away in the woods where all I could hear were the birds.

For a few other days on that Big Island, we stayed in a great house and went to a bunch of beach parks where I worked on my modeling skillz.

| OCEANNNNN. and WEAVES (note: "waves") |
We then took ANOTHER PLANE to the island of Maui where we did a WHOLE LOTTA NUTHIN as Mom and Dad said...I disagree. Every day I played in the pool (where I learned to float and kick my legs!) and a few times we went down to the beach, although I don't like sand very much...very dirty! Oh and the waves tried to wash me away a couple times.

| natalie swim in the pool? |
 |
| floating! and kicking! |
We did do something else cool...they took me on a BOAT which was GREAT for about 45 minutes. Then I was "done with boat." Unfortunately, it was a 2 hour whale watching tour!! I think it frustrated Dad a little to be making sure me and Mom were happy, so he went out the next morning for a sunrise trip before I was awake.

One night we went to something called a "luau" where everyone ate and then a bunch of people danced around. My favorite were the hula ladies (although when I say it it sounds like "old ladies.")

Unfortunately the trip had to end, but not before we went on MORE PLANES!!!

Vacation is awesome! Aloha and mahalo for reading! And check out Dad's Flickr photos for the entire trip:
