We had been trying to decide on a trip we could take with my sister and her husband and their youngest son, Danny for quite awhile. I was so excited when we finally all came to the decision to take a Hawaiian cruise! This was our ship -- The Pride of America by NCL.
Our friends, Marc and Emily Tingey, were in Maui the same week we visited, so we met up with them at the aquarium and had lunch. It was so much fun! Emily is also my visiting teacher, so we decided that counted as a visit!
The Black Sand Beach on the Hilo side of the big island of Hawaii. It is a beautiful place with lots of turtles sunning themselves on the beach.
I think this is my favorite place in the whole world. It's a secluded beach on the big island that we have visited before. Not many tourists know about it, so it's quiet, relaxing and beautiful!
In Kauai we kayaked up a river! It wasn't as hard as it sounds because the winds off of the ocean actually push you upstream.
After the kayaking, we hiked up to see a gorgeous waterfall. This is on the way to see the waterfall. All the land you can see is private, protected property.
At the waterfall! The guys all swam and jumped off of the waterfall, but I designated myself as official photographer, so I didn't get wet!
We also went to a Luau in Kauai, at the Kalamaku plantation. It was a wonderful show and the food wasn't bad either!
The whole gang at the Luau: L to R: Debbie, Karl, Danny, Devin, Me and David.
On our last day while we were in Oahu, we visited the beautiful Laie Temple grounds. It had been a hectic day, we had gotten lost for an hour, visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial, and been to the flea market at the Hula Bowl. But as soon as we reached the temple grounds, all the tension and stress left me and I felt at peace. Even just walking through the grounds and in the visitor's center, you could feel the spirit, and I was thankful for that. What a great way to end a fabulous week in one of our favorite places on earth!
