our {quiet} new year adventure

 the school break was nearing an end and we had been wanting to do a camping trip with the kids before it was over.  so, on new year's eve, we packed up and left the rainy east side on a camping adventure. (facebook repeats, folks - the photos)
as soon as we got over the H3, the skies were blue and the sun was shining and everything was so vividly green from all the rain.
i hadn't been to the west side in over a decade, so it was long overdue
usually this side is dryer and more brown, but from the recent rainstorms we've been having, it was so green and lush!!
the ocean is always so glassy over there
where we set up camp
we watched the sun set on 2010
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
and watched it rise on 2011
then we stopped to check out the fish and sharks at ko 'olina on our way home again, home again, jiggety-jig.
