First step to HAWAII!!!




Today (Friday) we finally booked our trip to Hawaii!! I'll tell more about that later.
The day started with Yoga and some work out at the gym and this time, the yoga felt really good! I could do downward facing dog all the time ;) And the sun was shining so I was in a super good mode today. I grabbed a smoothie from Starbucks on y way home and I said goodbye to Lisa and Lotta who were gonna stay at some friends this weekend.
I called Robin since it's his birthday today. Happy Birthday Robin!! And we talked about his graduation and all kind of cool stuff. He told me about the world championship in hockey that apparently has started, didn't know anything about that ;) And they are invited to a really cool party in the end of August where my cousin and his wife are turning 30 and they are gonna celebrate that with a masquerade! Can't they wait a month or sth so I also can join? This suck with everything I'll miss!
I put on my bikini and laid in the sun for 1,5 h! That was nice but maybe a bit too hot since there is no breeze in our sun wall ;) But I'm gonna be tanned so it's just to suck it up and do it ;)
I picked up the kids and we went to the castle park and stayed there for like 2 hours or so. We played some ball and I pushed them on the swing and it was really nice and the weather was amazing!
Back home, Jonas was already home and we were gonna eat out tonight so I didn't have to make any dinner.
It took so long before we went out cause first, Sofia was in our pool and Jonas and Filip played a game. Then when we got out of the door, there was a water fight on the street and Filip went in it, of course. After maybe half an hour there they all were wet and had to go in and change and then we could go. I was starving! And the kids had their bikes so it also took extra time. We went to the place where T.G.I.F had been before, but now it was only a bar so we had to find sth else. We went to a Vietnamese place and took food from there and went to the baseball field and ate there. I had a curry rice with vegetables and chicken and it was good. The baseball game didn't start when I was there and I left before the others cause I was already late to Kadda's place where we were gonna book our flight to HAWAII!!!
I came and we talked a little bit and discussed which flight would be the best and then we booked!! OMG, we couldn't believe it. We have been talking about it for so long and now we finally did it! It sounds a bit weird, the flight we took cause it's gonna take 11h and we are gonna land in Salt Lake City on our way ;) But here is the explanation: with this flight, we get out most hours of the Friday when we arrive. Now we are landing at 2pm and with another, cheaper and shorter flight, we would land at 9pm so it would be like a waste of day since we would just sleep there. We think we are smart anyways ;)
So, Kadda is going home a little earlier can't take so much vacation as I can, but Anna is also coming and we are staying 8 days, from the 18-26 of June!! It's gonna be so much fun and I wanna learn how to surf, go snorkeling, go to the rain forest and just hang out at the beach!
Me and Kadda also did our first plan of our traveling month after our year. This is just what we want to do but we haven't booked anything yet. First we wanna fly to Las Vegas and check out the casinos and everything. There we gonna rent a car and drive to Death Valley and Grand Canyon and check it out. Then we drive out to the coast and the first stop is Los Angeles where we gonna spend a couple of days and hang out at the beaches and tourist stuff, and also go to the amusement park Six Flags that I've heard is supposed to be really fun.
From there we'll continue up the coast and stop at all the cool places like Santa Barbera, Santa Cruz and San Jose until we reach San Francisco where we'll spend a couple of nights cause we both fell in love with the city.
Our time plan for this is about 2 weeks but I mean, we don't really know how far it is everywhere or how long we can drive but I think it'll be great. We have to see how we are gonna sleep as well, if we take in on motels or if we bring a tent and stay at camping places. But it's really exciting and I hope it will work as we want it.

Miss U all!
Love Sandra
