Here we GO! Can you say EXCITED!!

Well... it is 4:15 pm MST and Dustin and I are in separate rooms of the house trying frantically to tie up all of our loose ends before we head for our 10 day tropical destination of Hawaii!

We are NOT packed and we leave tomorrow morning for Bismarck. We will stay with Grandma and Grandpa Bakke and then fly out early Monday morning. We are trying to be simplistic and pack only 1 carry on bag for each of us. YIKES!... is it possible?

It is always a good idea to prepare yourself for new environments. I recently learned that there are interesting laws that effect Hawaiians.

1.) Coins are not allowed to be placed in ones ears

2.) All residents MAY be fined for NOT owning a boat.

Goodbye -20 degrees and snow... Hello palm trees and sunshine!
