Welcome 2013!

Gone are the days (at least for now) where we stay up until midnight to ring in the New Year!  I think this year may have been a record for the earliest we were in bed on NYE!  But... we did have an excuse because our alarm was set for 4:45 a.m. so we could make it to the East side of the island to do a sunrise hike. 

The paring lot was packed by 5:30 a.m.  This is the only day in the year where the state opens it up before 7 a.m.

I think all of Oahu was there!

She found a puppy and was in heaven!

While it wasn't the most spectacular sunrise we were hoping for, there were some good colors!

As we started walking back down, we saw these rays coming through the clouds.

We have so much to look forward to in 2013 and were excited it's here!
