Aloha Hawaii!!!



For Spring Break we took the family to Hawaii. It's always been my dream to go there - so before I turn 40 I wanted to go. It was a wonderful trip! We started by flying to O'ahu and staying at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel at Waikiki. We went shopping at a huge swap meet, we went to Pearl Harbor, and we drove up through the North shore, Waimea, Pupukea, Kawela.... it was a blast. Then we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Tuesday morning we flew over to Maui and saw as much of the island as possible. We did a lof of exploring and driving around the island. We watched the humpback whales, saw beautiful beaches, hidden waterfalls, pristine rain forests, spectacular coastlines, pristine beaches, natural lava pools and shafts (caves) and a super cool blowhole. There was so much we still wanted to do that we didn't have time to - so we're just going to have to go back!!! We snorkeled and saw the coolest reefs and fish, we hiked, we ziplined, we ate awesome food.... it was just the funnest vacation ever.
