Last week Nate and I returned from 7 fabulous days in Hawaii. Hawaii was amazing. This was my first time visiting and it exceeded any expectation I had. Such an beautiful, magical place!
We spent a few days chillin' beach-side on Waikiki, books in hand, soaking up that hot Hawaiian sun. We had fun exploring the beaches on Oahu's North Side. I couldn't believe how differently beautiful each beach was.
We loved Pearl Harbor, spent a few hours at the Polynesian Cultural Center, walked around the beautiful Temple, did plenty of shopping, spent a couple days snorkling, spent an afternoon wandering through a beautiful botanical garden that led up to a waterfall that we swam underneath, and had a blast at the Dole Plantation eating delicious Dole Whips and seeing the cute little pineapple's growing. Who knew pineapple grew like that???
We ate delicious food and especially enjoyed mealtime with no little rugrats to cater to! We had the most yummy shrimp ever from the ghetto shrimp trucks in Haleiwa, loved our Matsumoto's shaved ice (complete with ice cream and Hawaiian red beans), watched Nate go to burger heaven eating a burger just about the size of his head, visited the Cheesecake Factory (twice I might add), and had plenty of other good stuff.
What an amazing trip! We had such a great time just being the two of us, feeling as if there wasn't a care in the world, relaxing together, feeling young again, being goofy and remember exactly why we fell in love so many years ago! How grateful we are to all those who made it possible for us to have this time by watching our cute little ones.
