Hawaii April 2022

 Again, we bought season tickets to the local ski hill, Moose Mountain, for winter 2021-2022 and spent most weekends skiing and snowboarding.  Our daughter was doing both, but really started to love snowboarding more, so now we all mostly just snowboard.

Despite a fiasco getting back to Alaska from Minneapolis in January 2022 (flight cancellations etc), we decided to go to Honolulu in April, our first warm weather getaway in over 2 years!  We were hoping to go back to the Big Island but we booked a bit late and it was too expensive.  So we booked a condo in Honolulu and thoroughly enjoyed it!  Walked everywhere, rented a car for a 2 days and visited some other Oahu beaches, but mostly we loved hanging out at the condo pool and local Honolulu beach. So many kids at the condo and beach and our daughter made friends every day and really enjoyed improving on her swimming.  Other highlights were snorkeling at Hanama Bay, visiting the beaches to the NE of Honolulu, the zoo, seeing sea turtles on a city beach on the North Shore, eating shave ice, and just soaking up the sun and vitamin D.  Alaska airlines didn't get us our luggage for a few days, so we had a fun $300 shopping spree (courtesy the airline) at Ross for Less to get swimsuits and summer clothes.
