SPRING BREAK 2008

UPDATE: 03/21/08 - CK and I had a relaxing time in Kauai! We highly recommend Kauai or Maui if you have never been. Here are a few pictures. Hopefully we can return with all of our kids (grown and little) in a few years and hopefully will be taking another trip across the Pacific very soon! Aloha and Mahalo!
