So I signed up to get something homemade and totally free. The only catch is that I had to post something on my blog.
Here's how it works..... The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. BUT, in order for you to leave a comment on my blog, you have to post this on your blog first. (That means that sometime during this year you will send a gift to 3 people as well.) Get it? So, the first 3 people to comment on this post will be the lucky ones! It's a race!

The Hilton Hawaiian Village
This past weekend there was some Army ball downtown...which means nothing to me but mom got a great rate at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki because of it, so we were there baby! We have driven by it a million times and never thought much of it till we went inside and saw why they call it a "village." Tons of shops, restaurants, a beautiful white church, and even a pond with real penguins. All of this surrounded by six towers filled with rooms and timeshares. Plus five pools through out made it easy to forget we live only 20 minutes away. The tower pictured is the one we stayed in. I'm not a big fan of the Hiltons but man this place rocks!
Night view from our room.
We were out on the beach waiting for the fireworks they set off every Friday night to start and were pleasently surprised by all the sail boats. So pretty against the sunset.
View of Diamond Head.
It was only a 10 minute show but I was very excited to finally get to use the "fireworks" setting on my camera.
They have a man made lagoon you can swin and paddle boat in. We were so excited when we found out we could go stand-up paddle surfing there too. It was something we have always wanted to try and it is a lot of fun!!
It was a great weekend but still costly. Here are pictures of us with our $5 cokes. Can you believe that? $5 for a 12oz can of coke! Thanks mom...and Uncle Sam!

St. Mary's Cathedral and The Australian Museum
It's true, I have slacked hardcore about getting all of our pictures from Australia up, but we took a million so can you blame me. Over time you'll get to see them all...well, maybe.
These pictures inside the cathedral were taken without a flash! Do I have mad skills or what? Or maybe just a really good camera? Both?
This was labeled as "The Bone Ranger."
"Bone Sweet Bone"
Cockatoos just like this one were all over the city. It was so weird to see such an exotic bird in a major city.
This bird is called a Cassowary. It is known as the deadliest bird in the world.
