The Independent State of Samoa

Not to be confused with American Samoa, the Independent State of Samoa is as you may have guessed, Independent.  We flew there for a long weekend and had a blast.  The kids did great on the little plane.  The ride is only about 30 minutes.  The first night we stayed at the "Outrigger" in the large city of Apia.  It has amazing restaurants and is much more developed then any city on our island.  By nightfall the kids were tuckered out so Julie and I went back to the hotel with the babes and Erick and Jeff got some amazing pizza that we shared on the deck.  It was a great day and so nice to get off our island and check out a new place.
This is the plane ride.  As you can see the plane is very small.  They actually weigh you before you get on the plane and they seat you according to your weight so that they can make sure that the plane is balanced.  Jessica- if your out there do you recognize Siri's bear?  Besides her Elmo doll from Grandma Julie- this is her favorite.  
Looks like Grandma Julie is a little nervous to be responsible for the little one.  
Erick and I counted the number of plane rides that Siriana has taken in her little life- the final tally came to Eleven! Not bad for only being two.
