Vacationing with the Sharps

We had the opportunity again this year for Craig to be part of the 100% Club with BMC Software. This meant a trip to Kauai Hawaii for 5 days. We extended in Honolulu for an additional 7 days. We really enjoyed our time in Kauai. It was nice to see all the BMCers again and touch base with them all. I guess our adventure this time was to go ATVing. We had never been before and I have always been a fan of first-time-adventures. The atmosphere and dining were awesome. We had a full ocean view from our hotel window. So relaxing. In Honolulu...it was faster paced and A LOT more people. We did manage to go to the Dole Pineapple Plantation, Pearl Harbor, and to the Polynesian Cultural Center.  Excited to be back home....it was only less than a week and we were off to Idaho to a Retirement Party for our very close friend Julie Lester. We were also able to see two of Craig's brothers and their families. We realized after both these adventures that although we had a great time in Hawaii that our hearts are with family and that we really enjoyed our time with them so much. We are blessed to have family that we love so much. We are now back at home and have already celebrated Gavin's 1/2 birthday (he was born Dec. 23rd so his parents decided to give him a 1/2 birthday so that it would be remembered in all the celebrations). We also got Kate baptism photos taken. We are looking forward to celebrating Michael's college graduation. Valerie says that we celebrate everything and she is probably right. It is these special moments in life that are worth celebrating and remembering. Hope that you all are having a wonderful summer. We have enjoyed a wetter than usual summer but are grateful for the moisture. Happy Summer 2015.
