Melinda and Robert Carrasco planned for two years on how to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, and chose Hawaii as a destination.

It wasn’t only their anniversary though, Melinda’s parents, Maurice and Linda Rabren, tagged along to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary.

The family took a cruise on the Pride of America to Hawaii, and then the Keith and Sonja Hines family joined them in Oahu.

“The Hines family joined us because they have always wanted to go,” Carrasco said. “And we all always enjoy traveling together.”
