Hawaii!!

Cody and I were lucky enough to get to go to Hawaii for his work.  We got to spend 5 days there and he only had to work a few hours so we were able to do a lot of fun things.  Below, I am on Waikiki beach.  Waikiki was my least favorite place on Oahu,  I didn't care for all the people, but it was still so pretty!  That is where we surfed.  I even caught a wave for a few seconds!

We went for a run one morning {very early}.  We spent most of the trip getting up early and going to bed early because of the time change there.  It was a beautiful run!

Cody is standing in front of Turtle Bay.  We didn't see any turtles but we snorkeled there and it was awesome!

We visited the Temple visitor center.  I wish I had been prepared to do a session there.  It was BEAUTIFUL!

We heard all about shave ice before we left and we made sure to try it!  We got the real deal twice, and once we bought one that wasn't the same.  It was yummy!

We went for a hike up Diamond  Head.  It was originally used for military purposes, so there are tunnels and stairs and ruins from bunkers and such that they used to watch out for the Island.  It was a fun hike.

The view from the top was amazing!

This is a man made lagoon in Ko Olina.  That was the nicest part of the Island that we saw, as far as hotels and upkeep.  We saw a lot more fish here.  It was a good time!

On our last day we visited Pearl Harbor.  There is a sacred feeling here.  I didn't know much about Pearl Harbor, and honestly had no sense of where it took place.  I learned A LOT!  It was very interesting and very solemn. 

And then we had to come home...
