We decided to take the kids to the island of Hawaii (aka the Big Island) for a week during our transition time to California.  We spent three days up at Kiluea Military Camp and another three at the Hilton Waikoloa Village.  Sweet memories were made!  We hiked our cold legs off up in the Volcano National Park, the kids swam with the dolphins at Waikoloa, and DP enjoyed a night scuba trip with the manta rays.  I think I have decided the the Big Island is definitely my favorite of them all.

Time of lasts...

Well everyone, our time finally came to move away from the beautiful island we have called home for the past (almost) 3 years.  We packed out of the house early in hope that our household goods would be waiting for us in California for our arrival.  So we spent the past  few weeks living out of hotels and temporary lodging on Hickam.  Here are a few pictures from our last little bit of time on the island.
