The Akina's Road Trip

We have had an eventful summer.  We Set a goal last summer to hit all 50 states as a family before Keanu (our Oldest) graduates from High School.  So we figured that we better get started.  We rented an RV and drove up the Coast of California, Oregon and up to Seattle then flew out from Seattle.  It was a blast!  We might make it a regular summer thing,  just change the location each year.  We drove across the Golden Gate Bridge, where Kawika found out it's not golden! We camped at the Redwood forest, hiked, skipped rocks, built rock towers (Keanu built the highest and Kihei Knocked them all down), and went swimming in the cold river and jumped off rocks.  We toured through the Oregon caves Kiani wasn't too sure when the guide said we might see bats!, saw the cold Oregon coast, Kawika was the only brave one to get in the water. And toured Microsoft campus in Seattle.  Each night we would drive til about 1am and pull into a walmart for the night.  The boys said they felt like hobos!  Our entire trip is now coming to a close, we flew from Seattle to Maui for the last weekend before school starts on Monday.  It has been so much fun building memories that will last a life time!!!
