Sept. 17, 2008
I can't believe it has been over 30 days since I last gave you an update of the happenings in our lives. I am really going to have to pull deep to remember way back to the first or second week of August. We spent one weekend with family to help my aunt and uncle celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was great having all the family together and of course I took pictures of us all weekend and then put together a scrapbook for my aunt and uncle of the pictures.
We passed up tickets to the Bristol Fall Night Race and going to Richmond this year for the NASCAR races to opt instead to take a 7-day Cruise of the Hawaiian Islands to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary! We had friends that went to the Bristol Race and had a great time. And from what I hear, it is a good thing (due to traffic issues) that we weren't in Richmond this year!!
Which leads me to our Cruise and the details........ Words cannot express how good the time was that we had. My pictures will not do the beauty of the Islands justice as we look at them today, but they do bring back fond memories of an excellent time aboard the NCL Price of America. We had such a good time, it was hard to come home. I took over 1400 pictures that week and just got my prints back (340 of them), so I can now begin putting them in choronological order in my scrapbook. Some of the high points of the trip were the exotic tropical garden excursion, the Maui Ocean Center, the Poi'Pu Beach trip in Kuaui, the majestic mountain ranges, the clear blue waters and beautiful sunrises and sunsets every day. Each morning I found myself on the balcony of our stateroom watching the sunrise over the horizon as we pulled into another port at another exotic island for more adventures and pleasures.
On our Anniversary (Sept. 3) we attended a special Cake and Champayne Celebration for all couples celebrating an Anniversary or on their honeymoon, then we had a fantastic dinner which included for dessert, chocolate fondue for two and then a special Anniversary Cake. From there we had formal pictures taken and went to a Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony (Hawaiian Style) and exchanged Hawaiian shell leis and vows and traditions of the Hawaiian people. It was so meaningful and special and appropriate. Earlier we made real orchid leis that we wore to an authentic Luau which included a great meal and the depiction of a traditional luau telling the story of how the early Hawaiian people came from Polynesia to settled on the islands of Hawaii. It was exceptional.
The whole trip was totally amazing and a trip of a lifetime that we will cherish for a long time to come.
(Hopefully, I will get pictures posted for you all to see, real soon!)
Until then,
We will see you on the road. We've got some trips planned in the RV for October and November!!
