Hawaii!!

Me and the honey were able to go to Hawaii in the beginning of March...alone! We left Graydon with my parents and went back to the place where we fell in love!

It was so fun to visit all the old haunts. This is the peninsula in Laie where I lived.

The highlight was going to the PCC and X being able to push a canoe again! It was so fun to see him doing that, as that is how I first laid eyes on him.

You can see how happy he was! He even saw some old friends there from way back in 2001-2003.

This is where I first saw X...how cheesy!
The NZ Village of the PCC.

As all trips go for me, it's all about the food. I ate as many shave ices as I could! I also ate fish or shrimp for every meal (except breakfast). I probably got mercury poisoning, but it was worth it! So good!

My mouth waters just looking at these pictures. Snow Cones don't have ANYTHING on shave ice!


We visited our favorite beach, Secret Beach (because you don't know it's there unless you know it's there). It's so peaceful and serene.
We were trying to take a self-portrait, but it was soo dang sunny. We could not keep our eyes open or from looking really wrong! These are not flattering pictures of us, but they cracked me up!


To get there you have to pass through a banyan forest.


Oahu, we love and miss you. Thanks to my Aunt Colleen and Uncle Craig for letting us stay with you!
