Aloha

We are so excited about a long uneventful weekend!  We have been go go go lately and in desperate need of a low-key couple of days!  Well as you know from my previous post...Ryan spent a week in Hawaii while accompanying our friend Andy Lee at the Pro Bowl.  Lets just say it was a males trip of a lifetime!
He surprised me and actually took a decent amount of pics....although he didn't get ANY with athletes.  He said that out of all the guys he talked to and met, Aaron Rogers, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees were the friendliest and most down to earth. You know he was just trying to play it cool and blend in:). He also had a chance to spend a lot of time with Andy's fellow special-teamers David Akers and Brian Jennings.

First night Welcome Party....

I did get a text one night that said "Drew Brees says goodnight" along with this picture....

Apparently that night he talked to Drew and played with his son in the pool....seriously!  How cool!

They got a chance to play golf at Waialee Country Club where the Sony Open is played...

Ryan got to visit Andy at practice....

But most days while Andy was at practice Ryan enjoyed Hawaii....

During their free time in the afternoons they went shopping, visited the Dole Pineapple plantation, went into the city, ate ALOT and played more golf.

Went to see the Bonsai Pipeline at the North Shore...

And of course the game:)...Here they are tailgating pictured with Andy's Agents and Parents

Andy's fake punt pass!!...Nice Pic Ryan

Ryan came home with lots of goodies like this!
Now while Ryan was gone I went to visit Rachel and little Ryan for the week.  Although our week was no Hawaiian vacation we did do a lot.
Hung out and helped Rachel with this little guy...

We too had good Hawaiian inspired food....macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup!

Dinner at Mellow Mushroom with Rebecca...

Dance parties....

I helped Rachel make some final decisions on her nursery....

And lots of resting up before her baby comes.  Although we both had fun weeks, I am glad he is home and now I really want to go to Hawaii!
