Summer 2015

This summer, we decided to break up the long trip back to the USA with a 9 day layover in Hawaii.  Then, on the way home, we broke up the long flight with a 10 day layover in Japan!  The plan worked out beautifully and we are so glad that we chose this option.

Our summer break started slowly even though we were in Hawaii.  Exhaustion took center stage so unfortunately most of the first 3 days were spent sleeping through most of the day!  Once over our jet lag, we began enjoying this gorgeous island.

After Hawaii, we spent 3 weeks with my family in Atlanta, Georgia.  This portion of the summer was very busy too, but also relaxing at the same time.  Plenty to do, but only because we wanted to do it.

Lastly, we spent time in Tokyo and a lovely mountain town called Hakone.  Japan was a new experience for the whole family and we adored it.
