Arakawa Family Trip

We went to Kirkwood for our annual Arakawa trip. This year we had the entire mainland clan and Mom and Dad even came from Hawaii! We were a packed house with 28 of us! We had so much fun catching up with everyone. Days were filled with outdoor activities and nights were filled with good food and lots of games.

Here we all are!

Noelle had fun with Grandma & Grandpa

This is my favorite picture from the trip

My cousins (minus Robyn)...we're like sisters

Hiking - can you see sleeping Noelle on my back?

Family!

Newport Beach

We got a great deal to stay at the Marriott Newport Beach villa (2B/2B) so we took a mini-vacation. The only downside was having to go to the timeshare sales presentation - we are happy to say that we made it out alive. We had lots of fun spending time with friends & family and enjoying Southern California weather.

Nice villa with lots of room for Noelle to run around
