ALOHA!!!

Aloha cousins!!! Mike and I just returned from an amazing trip together to Hawaii. It was so nice to get away and just enjoy each other with no worry of work, etc. It was a little cloudy while we were there which was perfect. Hope you enjoy our pictures.


Waikiki Beach area-There were so many pretty spots to stop while walking along waikiki


Pearl Harbor & USS Bowfin - We thought we would honor our veterans by visiting Pearl Harbor on Veterans day. We enjoyed learning all about Dec. 7 1941. They also have a submarine and I have decided I have no desire to be stuck on one...CLAUSTROPHOBIA!!!
See the Tiny Holes they have to climb through!





PCC & Laie Temple




Views from Diamond Head Crater


Surfing...Yes we both did get up but no pictures. The blue boards are what we used. It was so much fun to be picked up by a wave!
Mike driving out lunch cruise boat. We found some dolphins on the way and stopped to watch them. They were so cute! The babies were doing tricks for us.


Yummiest snow cone EVER!!! It was so good.

We rented mopeds and rode up to the trail head of this waterfall. The rainforest in Hawaii was absolutely breathtaking. So green and beautiful.

It looks like you had a great time and got some amazing pics. I'm a little bit jealous. I'm glad you were able to go. Maybe someday it will be my turn.

I was about to write the exact same thing as Janet, except I think I'm more than a little jealous. That looks like so much fun and I even want to try the pineapple ice cream. Maybe not right now being big and pregnant, but definitely sometime. (before I get to old to surf). I''m glad you had a great time. You deserve it.
