blogging fail: a numbered list
July 9th, 2012
1. We went to Hawaii.
2. In Hawaii, we stayed quite busy sightseeing and eating delicious food and riding buses and walking (and walking and walking) and swimming in the pool and ocean and hanging out with Lauren.
3. Our hotel—apparently thinking it was still 2004—did not have free wifi in the rooms.
4. The lack of free wifi, not to mention free time, made it very difficult for me to fully participate in 7 Days. It was the first time in five years that’s happened. I’ve done 7 Days 21 times in a row, through cross-country moves, pregnancy, caring for a newborn, traveling, and dire illnesses. It took a trip to Hawaii to derail me. I’m actually quite bummed that I missed out on most of the commenting fun, even though it was for a good reason.
6. More busy fun time. (See #2 above.)
7. When it was time to leave Hawaii, my family flew home while I flew to Northern California to attend Brenda’s 40th birthday weekend celebration.
8. At Camp 40 Rocks, I had such a wonderful time, and was so busy talking and laughing and crafting and eating and laughing some more, that I barely cracked open my laptop for three solid days.
9. While in Hawaii and California, I Instagrammed a TON of photos, which made me feel like I was blogging, even though I wasn’t. (Most of those photos are in my Flickr, too.)
10. I am still incredibly behind on Flickring photos from my real camera, which makes me much less enthusiastic about downloading the new photos. My original goal was to get caught up before we went to Hawaii. Now my goal is to get caught up before we move.
11. We suddenly have less than a month left before the girls and I leave DC for Omaha, where we’ll visit for a couple of weeks while Troy oversees the pack-out of our house and does his turnover at work. Then he’ll drive to Omaha, pick us up, and we’ll head to San Diego.
12. In less than two months, we’ll be living in San Diego again. Whoa. And hooray!

12 is my favorite. :)
I’ve enjoyed all your instagrams from your trips!
We just PCS’ed from Spain to Hawaii and have had a lack of wifi for weeks! We finally have free wifi again and I feel like I can catch up on my life!
Sounds like you (and everyone else!) had an awesome time at 40 Rocks, you guys are so much fun!
As long as you’re still *taking photos*, you can always catch up. Eventually. At 3am when everyone is sleeping. Who needs sleep? Sleep is overrated!! ;)
I love Instagram for that. It’s something you can do when you have zero time. It’s quick and easy and you can send photos to Flickr instantly!
I need to plan a trip to San Diego for a visit. I just do.
HOORAY indeed!
I don’t post here very often, but my husband and I just got back from an anniversary trip to- of all places- Hawaii.
I smiled to see your pictures of the Dole Plantation and Waikiki beach. We’re retired military- and did the luau at the Hale Koa. Did you get a chance to do that? Our kids are grown but I was really surprised at the activities that they had for little ones there prior to the dinner, such as learning how to make flower leis.
It looks like you all had fun- and your wonderful pics are a reminder I need to update my blog with a trip report.
12 makes me happy
So wonderful to meet you face to face last weekend. thank you for the delicious eggs, friendship bracelet help and good conversation.
Enjoy the next 2 months, the move and the return to the land of never ending sunshine!
Ahhh… San Diego!!! As I fear I won’t see you on this coast again, I know I will see you on the other :)
