I think that is a WONDERFUL way to celebrate 90 years! Surround by family, relaxing, and beach beverages! We're getting ready to celebrate my very special aunts 80th birthday. I'll have to tell her about this

P.S. I especially loved your music today:)

Wow! that is so awesome!!! I so want to visit Hawaii some day. I hope I do not have to wait until someone's 90th birthday before I get there though. But that is just awesome that your grandma got to celebrate 90 years of living in such a beautiful place.

I am sniffing too! My husband and I went to Hawaii a few years ago and we had such a great time! It was our first trip alone since we had kids. It was also the first time I had ever been away from my boys overnight. I missed them and was glad to get home. We will just have to take them with us next time!
