What a fun trip!!! You guys packed a lot in and it all sounds like so much fun! I think beach week should be twice a year. In the winter we can all go to Hawaii :)

LOVE the photos! I'm glad we took so many, otherwise I'd think the whole thing was a happy dream. We miss you guys! (If you have time, I'd love a disk of Hawaii photos. I'll try to do the same for you)
