Hawaii

Matt and I had a blast last week in Hawaii. Matt had been there before about 6 years ago, but this was my first time there. We packed in a bunch of activities, I'm not the type that can just lay around on the beach all day, I get bored! I do enjoy it for a bit, but I also like to see and do things, and explore places that I've never been before. I don't have all my pictures uploaded to Shutterfly just yet, but when I do I'll post the link for all the pics. Here are just a few of the highlights!

Matt at the USS Arizona Memorial

My first Mai Tai of the trip....YUM!



We took surfing lessons!

Look at me go! haha

I do have to say, we both did really well!

Isn't the ocean just a beautiful color?

I think we had shaved ice almost every day!

Haunama Bay


View of Honolulu from the top of Diamond Head


Us at the top of Diamond Head

I'm such a sucker for buying the professional pics that places take. This one was boarding a submarine that took us 120 feet under water.

Everyone getting on the sub

Inside the sub

My kind of snorkeling - glass between me and the fish! This was a neat plane wreck that acted as a reef for the fish.

Dolphins!

From Matt's underwater camera - he swam with a turtle when he went snorkeling in Turtle Town on Maui.

Again with the professional pics :-P At the "Feast at Lele" Luau on Maui

The dancers at the Luau

Our hotel in Lahaina - it was right at the harbor, a great location!

The catamaran that took us to Lanai - Maui's neighboring island

Hulopoe Bay on Lanai

At the top of Haleakala Crater - a dormant volcano

View of the crater

Horseback ride down into the crater - we went from being at 10,000 feet at the top, down to 7,000 feet at the crater floor.

Us at the bottom of the crater

Our deep sea fishing boat - we left the dock at 3am!

Huge Mahi Mahi that was caught on our boat.
