Hawaii - Oahu

Maui - we loved it there. It was very quite, not super busy, and the beach by our condo was incredible. But after 3 incredible days we jumped on a little plane and went over to Oahu for 2.

We enjoyed the North Shore
Saw this beauty on the beach
Ate at Matsumoto Shave Ice - this was good in the sugary syrup way. The ice was soft but nothing was extremely amazing about the flavors, they were all just extremely sweet and sugary. I think the fresh fruit shaved ice in Maui had corrupted our thoughts on any other shaved ice.


One of the VP's and Mark's boss was actually in Hawaii also. So we met up with them for to go see Laie and the temple.



We also stopped and had some delicious shrimp from this little bus. Extremely good.



Dole Plantation - Pineapple, yum.


Mark & I stayed in Honolulu in Waikiki. Which is really neat to see, they have great shops and fun things to do and see. But we really enjoyed the more relaxed less crowded condo we stayed at in Maui. All the tourist in Maui were older retired golf playing couples or pregnant couples. Really, it made us laugh, but it was great. While Waikiki is more of the young crowd - or "Cabo"/ tourist scene so it was fun to stay one night - but glad the majority of our vacation was spent on a more secluded beach.

It was fun, lots of hula dancing, pork eating, and virgin mai thai drinking





The next morning we went to Pearl Harbor. What an incredible places, I am really glad we were able to go and see the memorials and learn a little more. I was highly impressed with how reverent and respectful everyone was while there.
