We made a return trip to Oahu for Spring Break. My friend Amy and I planned the trip together and both took our mother in laws. We each rented a 3 BR condo in the Ko Olina area which is about 30 minutes outside of Honolulu and were really happy with the location.

Quinn and his friends. First pic was from the “Mean Girls” performance at the high school — the guys went to see Lex perform. Second pic is a birthday pizza and movie party.

Our tuba guy. The school performed at a local music festival and were scored an Outstanding. And a rare occurrence of our tuba player practicing.
