Daniel is your man. \u00a0Looking to go shopping? \u00a0Kevin has his keys in hand and is ready to go. \u00a0Prefer to sip a glass of wine and work on a puzzle? \u00a0Uncle Dan will pull up a seat for you. \u00a0Heavenly, I tell you.<\/p>\n<p>I think I will treasure my memories from this Hawaii trip all year long.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-1909\" src=\"http:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132-624x624.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Kailua2017-e1506370858132.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This might have been my favorite Hawaii trip. \u00a0By now, we have developed a rhythm upon arrival. \u00a0Everyone knows where to go and what to do. \u00a0We have the perennial favorites but also time to explore. \u00a0Even better, the kids are now young adults who can take care of themselves. \u00a0No more tracking lost toys, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hawaii"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Kqhb-uM","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1908"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1913,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908\/revisions\/1913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chrissierocks.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
