Honolulu

Our quick 3 days in Waikiki has been fun but not our usual.  We went to Pearl Harbor the first day which was very moving.  They left the USS Arizona in the water where it was blown up and built the memorial over the top of what was left of the ship.  You could see it under water and a few parts above water.  Second day we hiked up to the top of the Diamond Head Crater.  The pictures are from that hike.  You can see Waikiki in one direction and the beautiful wild shoreline in the other.  Today we went to a sales pitch for Marriott Resorts.  It turned out well as there was no pressure at all and we had a fun afternoon snorkeling and eating and drinking up the $75 credit they gave us for going.  It was a beautiful place but not as interesting as Puerto Morelos.

Family Weekend 2013

This past weekend was Family Weekend here at The University of Arizona. Mom and Dad of course came but this was Nathan's first time visiting in over 2 years since I have been here. We had a pre-tailgate party at my house where my mom made fried rice and chicken curry which was a huge hit. A lot of our friends brought their parents and then we all went to the PIKE fraternity house together to continue the festivities. The next day my parents moved hotels to stay at the JW Marriott Starr Pass hotel which has a great pool and hiking trails.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of you guys during Thanksgiving and Christmas!
