Jan. 29th - Feb. 5th, 2011
A while ago I had a chat with Matt and said we should go on a "baby moon" before we have our lil girl. I asked him "If you could choose to go anywhere, where would you want to go?" He said..."HAWAII" So, that was that... and a couple months later, there we were! :) We also enjoyed the company of the family members that were able to join us! Bre, Chase and Alaina came with us from start to finish, but my Mom, Aunt Debbie, Jess and Josh also came for a couple days too! It's so fun that my fam has flight benefits so that we can share these experiences together!
WAKIKI ~ 1st Day at the Beach
We found a hotel right by the pier on Wakiki, it was perfect! We loved walking the strip and seeing all the street performers, shopping, and getting some exercise in a beautiful city!
Hanauma Bay
Matt and I got to try out our new snorkel gear :) We saw tons of colorful fish!!! The most random thing were the chickens roaming all over the beach :)
Pearl Harbor
Arizona Memorial
So incredible to learn about Pearl Harbor in more depth and pay tribute to those who died on Dec. 7th, 1941. It's crazy that as you stand on the memorial, you can still see the boat below you!
Dole Pineapple Plantation
Something you just gatta do when your in Hawaii! Plus pineapple is my favorite fruit, at the moment! :)
Also something you have to do! We got to learn about Samoa, New Zealand, Hawaii, Marquesas, Tahiti, Tonga, and Fiji. Then we had a nice canoe ride, dinner and a luau. :) The night show was awesome too! We couldn't take pictures but they did everything from singing and dancing to the crazy magic fire dance show thing :) It was the coolest thing there by far!
Turtle Beach :)
We went twice to Turtle Beach, the first day there were no turtles, but the next day there were 2 on the shore and a couple more swimming right at shore break! I LOVE SEA TURTLES!!!!
North Shore - Day at the Beach
My favorite day in Hawaii, for sure!!!! Just a nice relaxing day playin in the sand and in the ocean. We were having so much fun! Chase brought his boogie board, and we all swam out and played with that thing for hours! Jess, Bre and I had a blast body surfing, boogie boarding and just chillen in the ocean and goofin around :) When we got back to the beach Matt told us we had been out there for 1 & 1/2 hours! You know what they say... time flies when you're having fun!
LDS Hawaii Temple
One of the most beautiful buildings ever!
Cutest pictures of Alaina, don't you think? I just had to throw these in somewhere :)
We love vacations and love Hawaii! We're so happy that we got to go! It was also nice to skip out on some winter in exchange for some sunshine! :) Gotta love that!
