Last month (yes, I'm a horrible blogger) we got to go to Hawaii, the island of O'ahu with my family. It was the most amazing trip ever! We loved everything about it, if it wasn't so expensive to live there I think we would move there and become beach bums! Here is what we did...
SUNDAY- flew in
MONDAY
we visited the Dole Plantation did the garden tour, rode the pineapple express, and ate pineapple ice cream and chocolate-covered pineapple
TUESDAY
we went to Waimea Bay and boogie boarded and ate lunch at a shrimp shack and then spent the whole day at the Polynesian Cultural Center where we got to watch a canoe show, learned to hula, watched them play with fire, ate at a luau, and attended the most amazing night show performance ever!
WEDNESDAY
I went golfing at Turtle Bay (our resort we stayed at) with the boys, that afternoon we just hung out on the beach!
THURSDAY
We went shopping at the Ala Moana Shopping Center in downtown Honolulu, spent some time in Waikiki on the beach, then shopped a little more & ate dinner at Benihana
FRIDAY
I did shark encounters with the boys. There were a ton of waves and we all got extremely seasick, almost everyone (including me) threw up overboard. By the time we got in the water it was hard to enjoy the sharks because we were so sick, I spent the rest of the day in bed! Shannon got to go do surfing lessons in the afternoon which he really enjoyed!
SATURDAY
last day in Hawaii, in the morning we went to a swap meet in Honolulu and got lots of good souvenirs...that afternoon we toured the U.S.S. Missouri at Pearl Harbor..that night we took the red-eye flight home and arrived in Utah at 2:30 a.m. Hawaii time. It took us a while to recover!
That was our trip! We loved Hawaii and hope to go back again one day! However, it was super hard for us to be away from Easton for 7 days...I was shocked when I walked into our bedroom Sunday morning before we left and saw Shannon breaking down crying, he is such a good dad (he would probably be mad if he knew I wrote that, good thing he never checks our blog)! I thought I was freaking out way more than him! Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Lucas for watching our little guy for a week...and a big MAHALO to my parents for taking us!
Yeah! A new post...and blog! Good to see you again! I LOVED you trip about Hawaii...we are actually going next year as a family...can't wait! How did you leave Easton??? Oh my...7 days is long! I busted out in tears after leaving Caleb for just 5 days last summer. Sometimes you just have to get away though. So glad you had an awesome time!
ReplyDeleteUgh! Im so happy for you guys that you gotta go, and so jealous at the same time. I would LOVE to go to Hawaii. Hopefully next fall we'll get there. I was so happy to hear from you, you have been like M.i.a from the blogging world. Apparently you have a life or something- hah, unlike me. Ive been posting like a mad women lately.

What a fun vacation. Hawaii is the best I want to go back there so bad! We are going on a vacation in 3 weeks and it will be our first time leaving Cali.
