hawaii

I had the chance this month to take a little vacation and visit my friend Holly in Hawaii. I hadn't seen her in about two years so it was great to catch up and spend some time together. Plus, Hawaii! Who doesn't love that? The week was full of lots of relaxing beach and pool time and great food and great company. One of my favorite things we did was go ziplining! I've always wanted to try it. It definitely will not be my last time. We also swam with dolphins which was something I never thought I'd do but I'm so glad we did it! The dolphins were so fun and friendly. At one point we were sitting on a ledge half under the water and the dolphin actually came and laid on Holly's lap. The trainer told us that dolphin was a snuggle bug. I know, it's weird to think about a dolphin being cuddly. But she was!






This is a photo of the professional photo we bought, so the quality isn't great. But I just had to share it!

We had such a great time and the week really went by too fast. I'd like to say a huge, HUGE thank you to Holly and her family for hosting me this last week! Love you guys!

solo!

Jeff had a solo this week and they let the spouses come out to the flight line and take pictures. I don't get to see him actually fly often so it was a cool thing to see. Here's a few highlights:













We also had the chance to go down to Destin, FL for the weekend. Any time we get a chance to head to the coast we take it! It was a fun two days of being beach bums. We were able to meet up with some of Jeff's Alabama family who drove down from Birmingham and we had a great time with them. Destin is beautiful!
