Hawaii

Mitch and I were lucky enough to get to go to Hawaii at the end of November, it was all I dreamed it would be. The water was beautiful, the weather was perfect. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Resort in Maui and we loved every minute. When we left Utah it was a blizzard that looked like it wasn't ending any time soon. The roads were insane (thank you Dad for driving us to the airport). We landed in Hawaii in our long pants holding jackets and couldn't change fast enough.

The weather was perfect there. We did a lot of snorkeling, it is one of our favorite things to do. We walked the beach a ton, there was a great beach walk that went past all of the resorts it was a long walk that seemed to fly by. We rented Jet Skis and I thought that Mitch was going to dump me in the middle of the ocean. I am afraid I threatened his life too many times during the Jet Ski trip. Sorry babe! We rented a car for most of the trip and found ourselves at Honolua Bay a lot. It was our favorite place. We did some snorkeling there and watched some surfers riding HUGE waves. We enjoyed that so much that we decided to take surf lessons. That was the highlight of the trip, we loved learning to surf. I just wish we would have done it sooner so we could have done it more. Mitch was a natural, I caught on eventually (story of our lives).

We survived the road to Hana... barely. We both got pretty sick on the way back down the mountain. That wasn't our favorite, many people say that you HAVE to go do that, we would say if you have a whole day to kill. We did enjoy the hike once we got there, the waterfalls were amazing, but the drive... not worth it in our opinions.

It was a great trip, the best part for me was being able to spend the whole thing with Mitch. People kept asking us if we were honeymooning and even though we weren't it sort of felt like we were. I couldn't ask for a better husband and I am so happy that we were able to spend that time together. For the record, I am willing to go back to Hawaii at anytime! I LOVED IT THERE!

Now for the PICTURE OVERLOAD! I wish I could post them all... but I have other things to do today! Enjoy!
