Out and about in Hawaii

Last week, I bought an Ergo baby carrier so that we could start getting out of the house and enjoy Hawaii with Charlie. The only thing I can say about it is that I wish we'd gotten it sooner! Charlie loves it, and it's so nice being able to do some of the things that I didn't think we'd get a chance to do before we move back to the mainland.

We started our weekend with Diamond Head. Our original plan was to hike it on Saturday morning but by the time we got there, the lot was full so we decided to try again later in the afternoon. I'm so glad we did because the weather was perfect and it wasn't even close to being as crowded as it had been that morning.




1 3/4 of a mile and 175 steps later, we had finally reached the top!


By the time we got back to the car, Charlie was passed out.


The next afternoon we decided to go to Makapu'u trail where the Makapu'u lighthouse is on the windward side of the island. It was a BEAUTIFUL afternoon, the water was so blue and it was a little cool out because the sun was starting to set.







I can't wait to find another hike to do next weekend!



I just have to include this picture that I took of Charlie yesterday afternoon. Just when I think that he can't possibly have anymore facial expressions, he comes out with this one:
He is definitely not camera shy!
