Hawaii . Ko Olina

On Sunday we left Waikiki and headed over to the western side of the Island to stay at the Marriott Ko Olina resort for a week of true paradise.  Although we loved our time at the Hale Koa, we were all excited for some togetherness time without any appointments and tests for Mike.  We had stayed at the Ko Olina back in 2007 with the older three children and always hoped to one day return.  There is really only one word that describes the Ko Olina...AWESOME.  The new pool area was out of this world.  With waterfalls, a cave, a water slide and plenty of hot tubs, everyone was pretty content to be at the pool most of the time.  We quickly discovered the shaved ice hut and splurged by letting the kids have one most every day.  During one of the days the girls and I got to make our own fresh Hawaiian leis while the boys played ping pong.  That evening we all enjoyed a show with dancers, got to try coconut milk straight from the coconut and the kids all got their own headbands.  We even celebrated Peter's birthday with grandpa while he was with us. Fun times! There was plenty of  entertainment and lots of relaxation during our week at the Ko Olina.  We truly felt like we were in paradise!
