Happy Retirement!

Last week we took a whirlwind trip to Hawaii for my dad's last flight with American Airlines. It worked out wonderfully because my brother and his wife were able to come and so we had the whole family together! We flew to Hawaii early in the morning on Tuesday and were able to enjoy the day there to the fullest. We had a great lunch, played on the beach and partied the night away in Waikiki. :-) The trip home was great too. The weather was fabulous and clear and we even had two rainbows greeting us before takeoff. Once we got home it felt funny that we had just gone to Hawaii for a day, but it was one of the best trips ever because we were all together celebrating my dad's great career. Here are some pics from the fun.

I was just thinking yesterday night that we were in CA at that time last week...and on our way to Hawaii at this time. What a crazy whirlwind trip, but I would do it 100 times over. It was so great to be all together celebrating your dad :) Amazing. But we miss you already...a lot...

Love, Liesl
