Aloha! We loved Hawaii


We returned from our 12-day trip to Hawaii yesterday afternoon. What a great way to spend your 25th Anniversary, Thanks Steve for the great trip. Steve was checking out land, he would love to live there. Who know's, we may end up there in a few years, I wouldn't complain. Here are a few pictures from our trip. Enjoy!

This picture is our first day in Oahu at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I loved the show, Steve fell alsleep,(the 4-hour time difference was hard)
This is at the Temple in Hawaii, what a beautiful temple and the view at the top looking down at the ocean is amazing.

Sunset on September 16,2008, our 25th Anniversary

This picture was taken at sunset on the beach, it was hard to see a sunset in Kauai, so we drove an hour to the other side of the island to watch the sunset, it was gorgeous and worth the drive




Spouting Horn, a neat lava blow hole that the surf comes in and makes a huge spout, like "Old Faithful". This is at "Queens Bath" a kinda sea spa, the tide comes in and keeps the water refreshed. We liked this so much we came back a few days later to snorkel and play in the water.

Steve enjoying a "Shaved Ice" at JoJo's. A yummy hawaiian treat that we both enjoyed!

This is us at Waimea Canyon, which is the "Grand Canyon" of Hawaii. Pretty amazing view.

This was my favorite adventure on the trip. We took "Capt Andy's" 6-hour rafting trip around the Na Pali coast. This is the part of the island that has no roads because the ridged mountains. We went in several sea caves, saw dolphins, sea turtles and snorkeled. My arms and bottom were a little sore the next day from the rough ride, but I would totally go again. Well, what can I say, we had a blast and if anyone is going, let us know, we are ready to go again! ALOHA!
