Battling Disney withdrawals…

I’m afraid these California natives are turning into Disney Worlders 🫢

Howdy Ho Adventurers!

Has anyone else been dreaming of exploring and traveling?

This year we have stayed home more than ever focusing on time with family. Meagan opened her PA practice and has been working away and I have been at a few different jobs searching for my perfect fit.

We are grateful for our time together this year and are excited about 2025!

The last couple of days in Oahu have been spent relaxing at the beach and showing Jonathan the lush island.

We love getting to walk the lagoons over to Disney’s Aulani and grabbing some afternoon treats. My go to is a cherry shave ice with mickey ears. Meagan and Jonathan were thrilled to get a fresh dole whip with a Mickey face.

We spent one morning at Pearl Harbor then ventured to the other side of the island to see North shore. After a week on The Big Island, it was refreshing to drive just 30 minutes to cross the island.

Jonathan’s Christmas gift was an early morning tee time with dad at .

It’s been nice to relax and soak in the island life.

Time to island hop! Today we head over to Oahu, our home island. We’ve been coming to Oahu for over a decade so we are excited to share the island with Jonathan.

Our flight got switched so it was a very early morning. We ended up landing in Honolulu before the sun rose and decided to explore the city before heading to our side of the island.

We stopped for some warm Malasadas at , drove by the gusty cliff to see blow hole and headed over to the Buddhist Temple.

We dropped by Tropics for lunch and walked the beach a bit before heading over to our condo in Ko’Olina.

As much as we loved seeing The Big Island, we were all ready for the tiny (in comparison), lush island of Oahu. After a full week of adventure, we were ready to bury our feet in the sand!

One of the joys of bringing a “newbie” to the islands is getting to show off the rich culture and history of the Hawaiian people. And no Hawaiian adventure is complete without a visit with the fish.

Jonathan got to admire the beauty on land, now it was time to show him the beauty under the sea. This was his first boat ride and first real time swimming in the ocean so we all kept a watchful eye on him, but shoutout to our amazing crew for making us all feel so comfortable !

We took a catamaran to Captain Cook at Kealakekua Bay, one of the calmest spots in Hawaii. After learning about its history, we hopped in.

I made a promise to my family that I would give snorkeling a real shot this time. We’ve gone on many snorkel adventures and I have always been the photographer aboard the boat. I was determined to give it my best.

Fish have always been a fear of mine (no idea why) so even just putting my feet in the water would make me cry in fear. I jumped in and did some deep breathing. After about 15 minutes, I was able to put my face in the water and look around.

Turns out, it’s amazing! Kind of like the real world experience of the Finding Nemo ride at Disneyland ;)

I stayed in the water the entire hour along with my family (I may have forgotten the SD card for the Go Pro… so no photos).

Another item checked off of my list as I revisit things that caused me such anxiety in the past. Jonathan is officially “one with the water” and loved the entire adventure.

The crew was seriously so amazing and even showed me a card with all of the local fish once we got back on board that we had seen today so that I would “have a positive memories of the fish”. As I left the dock, a crew member shouted, “I’m so glad you got in!”

So am I.

A bonus: no one got sea sick!!

The next couple of days on The Big Island were spent finding the small treasures picked by each of us.

Meagan and Jonathan requested local coffee shops each morning so we started our morning at Kona Joe Coffee with this breathtaking view.

We stopped by to see The Painted Church (St. Benedict’s Catholic Church) before heading to Kona Brewing Co. This is mom and dad’s favorite beer so we grabbed lunch at their restaurant before going on a brewery tour. The best part about bringing someone sober on a brewery tour – you can have their sample😉

Our tour guide Hank was amazing and we all enjoyed seeing the process behind the product! It’s safe to say Kona Brewing Co. is stoll a favorite in this house!

One morning we decided to find the trail leading to the Waikoloa Petroglyphs just outside of our resort. The k’i’i pohaku is believed to originate from 1000-1800 AD. Some images show men on horseback and others are cryptic showing lines and dots.

While these are jam packed days with long hours in the car, we love being able to visit many locations in one day and mark off things from eachothers wishlists.

First time on The Big Island for us Lovin’s!

Not sure what we were expecting but an island of lava rock was NOT it. We got up early our first morning and headed to the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, Punaluu Black Beach Sand and Punaluu Bake Shop.

The National Park still has some trails closed off from the last eruption. We could still see the steam coming from the surface and even got to hike parts of old lava tubes.

The black sand beach was very hot but we enjoyed getting to touch the water and see some turtles. We decided to head to the southern most bakery in the country and enjoyed some warm malasadas.

We now understand why this is the BIG island… we drove over 250 miles crossing the island and didn’t see nearly all of it.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

We hope you had a joyous holiday season with your loved ones. Lots of changes are happening in our family right now but I love that we can all come together and celebrate the reason for the season.

It is time to pull this binder out again!! This past year had many unexpected turns that changed some of the travels we thought we would do in 2023. None were bad just not as we thought. With that said, we still saw places and did things we had on our lists. We knew 2023 would not be a travel year for Meagan with clinical rotations and many of our changed plans were due to Maddie’s adventures.

As we approach 2024, we are beginning to think about what the parents of this group would like to do in this upcoming year. Maddie has more changes coming and we will see how that plays out and Meagan will be done with school and beginning her next chapter. The beginning of the year is a big trip for all of us together because it has been 1 1/2 years, but as the girls begin their own lives it is time for mom and dad to start crossing off their lists of places to see.

Do you plan out your year of travels? How do you track? I would love to hear others keep track of their travels so please share!!

I may have forgotten to mention one big recent change in my life…. I am a Disney Professional Intern!

I moved to Orlando, Florida in June and have been working as a Health and Wellness Communication intern.

I am surrounded by a fantastic team helping me grow my skills in writing, web design, event planning and so much more!

I am so excited to share more about this adventure!!

Three generations of strong women take on Magic Kingdom! No matter what, we will find a way to visit a Disney Park and this trip was no different!

Grandma Marcia certainly impressed us all by trapsing through not just one but TWO parks this weekend!

That Florida humidity did not disappoint and if you know anything about Grandma Ma**ca, it’s that she HATES humidity. These California women didn’t let the heat spoil our fun - it just meant we created our own shade!

Rides conquered:
• Pirates of the Carribbean
• Haunted Mansion
• Country Bear Jamboree
• …and lots of shopping🤭
