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.

Cute post--that looks so fun! And that burger looks like it might walk away...sick. Oh I want to go!
KATIE! So many pictures, so many comments. I feel like I might need to make a list...
It looks like you had SO SO SO much fun and I am so glad you got so many cute pictures! You must be brave and ask strangers to take pictures for you.
You look so tan.
You look just like Elise in the picture where you're pointing at the pineapple. I couldn't believe they grew like that either.
I'm so glad you were able to go and had so much fun!
Forget Cali next year, the Fackrells need to go to Hawaii. Looking at your pictures I think I'm going to really end up moving there.
Oh my gosh, that looks like it was the best trip and I'm SOOOO happy you finally got to go to Hawaii because it is the bestest, isn't it!? :)
Love all the pictures, the scenery, you guys are one cute couple. Oh, and I think I've heard of that burger place, did Nate actually finish that thing? That's amazing. Glad you made it back, I'm sure your kids missed you, although it probably sucks to come back to cold weather!
Is that half an avocado tucked in that head-sized burger?
I'm glad you had a fabulous time. I love those dole whips - so yummy!
Sounds like a great trip! I'm jealous!
