Hawaii

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks.  Today I finally had a little bit of time to gather together my pictures from Hawaii.  We had an wonderful time!!  It is paradise and so much more.  Here are some of the plethora of pictures that I took.

Drive to the PCC

One the way to the Polynesia Cultural Center we discovered a fun road side stand that sold local fruit and Ice Cold Coconuts.  They were heavenly!!

We had a great time at the PCC.  It is so cool to learn about other cultures.  That day was our 8th anniversary so it was an extra special day.

The next day we spent some good quality time with each other and good books on the most beautiful beach.  It’s a quiet little beach that is tucked away from most of the tourist areas and it is unbelievable.  While we were there, this cute Japanese couple walked out on the beach right in front of us and got married.  It was one of the quirky things that I love about traveling.

We capped off the trip with a session at the Laie Temple.  What can I say, we had a wonderful time.  It was everything that I imagined and more.  My sweet Husband is so great to indulge my desires to travel and see the world.  And, a big thank you to everyone who helped out on the home front so that we could have this magical time together.  You guys are awesome!!
