We just got back from a dream vacation in Hawaii! We'd been before but the last time was 13 and 1/2 years ago. It was a trip I'd been looking forward to ever since we got home from our mission almost 4 years ago so I was pretty excited to go! The pictures are backwards so you'll see the end of the trip first. This will be a long blog but I promise its only a few of our pictures. Below Kim and I are standing in front of one of Maui's Banyan Trees in the quaint seaport town of Lahaina on the last day of our trip.

Below is Alyse and Annie in front of Lahaina's harbor.

Whale watching, it was so fun we saw 3 whales.

This picture does not do justice to the whales. They did lots of turns and dives for us. The baby kept swimming on his back and it was a riot!

In Hawaii if you are not married you wear the flower on the right side, if you are married you wear it on the left.

Annie and Alyse at my favorite beach on Maui, Kapalua bay. The snorkeling was incredible!




This was the beach outside our condo. We had a beautiful view!

Wailea beach, The snorkeling was good here too.



Easter Sunday we couldn't do water activities but we did take a long walk on the beach.

In our Easter outfits. Mine is the one I got from Coldwater Creek on my shopping spree.

Annie, Alyse, and me.

When you've had enough of the beach there is always the pool.

We transform into snorkel monsters.


The best Luau ever at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Were on Oahu now.

The beach at the bay.

Hanauma Bay. Sadly it poured after being here about an hour and 1/2 so we had to cut our visit short.

Pearl Harbor. The USS Bowfin submarine. It was pretty interesting. We decided none of us could live on a submarine.

A battle ship.

The anchor off the Arizona.

Honolulu.

The beach at Waikiki.


Our favorite things about Hawaii- The Polynesian Cultural Center, the beach and snorkeling, forAnnie sun bathing, for Alyse being in the water, the beautiful sunsets, seeing whales, shopping, it does rain a lot but there is no snow, being there together, ok we loved everything!
