Three in Waikiki
June 24th, 2011It’s the end of the second day of our little family getaway in Honolulu. We are having THE most lovely time. Violet has embraced the spirit of Aloha to a nearly embarrassing degree. She is super friendly with people in the ocean, warning them to “Watch out! Watch out!” when a wave is coming. In the “hot pool” at the hotel, she insisted a woman in a yellow bikini top was her friend. When I asked what her friend’s name was, she announced, “Banana!”
She has twice now picked up the hotel room phone and pretended to call our friend David, once to let him know we got in and once just now to fill him in on our day today. This recap included only the very most important highlights, like how she saw a Hello Kitty towel in a store window (“and she’s so cute!”), and that she peed in the bed, “Ok? Bye bye!”
Ah, vacation with a rookie potty user in a hotel with awesome housekeeping staff. MAHALO and then some.

Aloha! How about sending some Honolulu sunshine our way? We’ve had nothing but rain for weeks!
I went to a new listing today to take photos and measurements and met an “awmust fee” little girl named Morgan that reminded me so much of Vibby that it hurt my chest.
She talked nonstop with a nuk in her mouth, so her mom and I just had the best time listening to her ask questions about what we were doing and telling me all about her house and her room and her toys and her “TB” where she watched “Dora n Clifford”.
I told her all about Vibby and she said “Does she have a castle? Does she have a mommy? Does she have a swimmin’ pool? Ummm, does she have shoes?” And on and on until her mom distracted her with a sippy cup of apple juice.
Made my day! Sure miss you guys! SO GLAD that you’re having a nice family getaway. Have some pineapple for me and give Vibby a BIG hug and tell her it’s from Granma, OK?
XXXOOO
