Yep!

Dad requested that he see DD as soon as she arrived home while her trip memories were “fresh”. We all went out for a delicious meal last night at a newly renovated RSL club near him and this was parked in the underground carpark near our car. Took photo for DS.

@Momof3gurlz Have fun on your road trip. Sounds like your grandsons will. As kids, we had roadtrips annually to the Gold Coast in Queensland from Sydney. My fav part was having all the pillows and sheets around me on my side of the backseat (very cosy) and the I spy games.

Sunrise in Seattle this morning

Back to Uni. Her next overseas trip will be England next June as travelling companion has a wedding to attend at Windsor Castle. I didn’t realise public wedding receptions were held there but given its size it makes sense. DD also plans to visit Hawaii again on the way over and I will join her for that portion of the trip. Interestingly, the only flights she experienced turbulence on were to and from Hawaii. She flew Jetstar. She likes them for domestic flights around Australia but wasn’t impressed at all by the international flight experience with them so won’t book them again for any overseas flights.

I think DD should buy a lottery ticket - 12 flights across 6 airlines, multiple countries and their baggage never got lost at all. 3 outdoor concerts, 3 outdoor music festivals and one indoor hockey game across the UK, USA and Canada in 8 weeks and neither of them got Covid. DD landed safely home this afternoon at Sydney airport. At the same time DS checked in at Honolulu airport for his flight to Anchorage via Seattle. He is flying Delta not Southwest.

@Ozark_Kid the girls are adorable. Finley is such a beautiful baby.

Schnitzel & Chocolate fudge cake sounds like a winner to me! Can’t go wrong with basketball or football - both great for hand eye co-ordination. Good luck with the gentle persuasion on the swimming lessons.

@dani negreanu Goodlooking grandsons. I bet one of the things they look forward to most with sleepovers apart from spending time with is your DH’s food. They look like they are going to be good swimmers like you. What’s their favourite outdoor activity?

It’s a lovely looking cruiser and the Thames sounds like the perfect place for novices like yourselves with the welcoming community and low speeds. In Australia, it’s caravans and campervans that went through a sales boom during lockdown and there is still a long waiting list to purchase them.

@sgmn is that your boat, Sue? Your day out on the water looks absolutely lovely. Do hope the weather cools for you. Lovely sunset shot.

DS has been trying different cocktails. Tonight he had a guava daiquiri. Said it was very nice. A couple of food photos.

Being first timers, they did the popular activities like walking to Diamond Head, booking timed tickets to snorkel at Hanauma Bay and this morning after being talked into it by their gdad, they did the Outrigger Canoe ride off the beach. They got absolutely drenched and had to stand up to surf the waves in but had an absolute blast. They left it too late to get tickets to Pearl Harbour but there is always next time.

The beach at Waikiki photographs well anytime of the day.

My “kids” are at the end of their week’s holiday in Hawaii. Every day was a highlight for them. On their first full day, they had a Jeep and drove to the beaches on the North Shore and went to Nu’uanu Pali lookout.

I second the recommendation to watch the doco. It’s superb.

Congratulations! Welcome to the world Finley.

@Ozark_Kid Sending my prayers for your daughter and her baby today

@Ozark_Kid Gorgeous photos! Kenzie is such a cutie 🌸

@Luckynana Congratulations to Ryan. That is quite a musical talent. I am sure he will enjoy marching camp and well done to them both for their performances I played Clarinet in the school band and my daughter played Trumpet. Neither of us found it easy.

Is Sticky Toffee Pudding the same as Sticky Date Pudding? Sticky Date is my DH’s favourite dessert. He will always choose it when it’s on the dessert menu here.

Good morning. My DS has just flown Sydney to Honolulu overnight landing there this morning (his photo). My DD is enroute to Hawaii from Toronto via Vancouver. First time my “kids” have holidayed together without me and their first visit to Hawaii.

@DaniDanielle So pleased your daughter and grandchildren will be joining you on board. Is that a new profile photo? It’s lovely.
