Hawaiian Paradise Vacation

We're back!! I cannot believe it is over already. My dream vacation has come and gone but it really is nice to be home. We missed the kids so much and I had few rough days without them but I feel like overall I did better then I though I would. We started out our vacation in Oahu where our hotel was right on the beach. We took our bags to the room, got in our suits and went boogie boarding the first day. It was so fun. The second day we got up so early because of the 4 hour time difference that we decided to watch the sunrise on the beach. Then we went to Pearl Harbor and that was a really neat experience. The third day we did our vow renewal ceremony and then we rented a car and went up to the north shore where we got the best shave ice in the world at Motsumotos (a must if you ever got to Hawaii!) Then after the yummy treat we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center....not my favorite part of the trip but interesting none the less. We saw the beaches were Lost is filmed but didn't know it until someone told us later. The fourth day we flew to Maui where we stayed at the Grand Wailea and it was gorgeous! Maui is totally different then Oahu. It was neat to stay two very different places. In Maui we really just did a lot of relaxing. We did a fun snorkel tour one day and got to be so close to sea turtles it was crazy. P.S. they are huge!! We also did a luau one night with an awesome fire dancer and that was fun. The luau was actually on our anniversary so that was neat to do on our special day. We had fun at the pool with the water slides and worlds only water elevator. We really enjoyed each other and had a great time. I love you honey, thank you for making my dream vacation, and all my dreams come true!
