This was actually our last day in Hawaii. We went around Pearl Harbor for a few hours and then hiked Diamond Head. Pearl Harbor was amazing, quite a different feeling there and a deep appreciation for those who serve our country then and now.
Okay so this is slightly embarrassing, here we are after we just got down from volcano. This is supposed to be a walk really, and it is, until you reach the last 300 feet of the 600 feet climb. Really it doesn't sound that difficult but oh my, the last half of the climb is straight stairs and my thighs really were sore after climbing them and then going back down. By the time we took this picture I was tired and slightly ornery.
Here we are enjoying dinner in the sunset. This was one of my favorite times of the day! It is very interesting to compare the sunsets there to those of home, quite different but both beautiful.
One of our first days in Hawaii we went to walk the grounds of the Laie Temple. We had wanted to go to the temple while in Hawaii, but the temple is closed for remodeling so we walked around quickly and took pictures before the rain came.
While at the Polynesian Cultural Center, we enjoyed a lot of Hawaiian rain. The day was enjoyable, even though the rain didn't stop for long. I enjoyed seeing the dancing in the rain!
Oh look, Josh and I wet.
Mom, this is the site of your and dad's mission. Look at the pretty quilt! I need to show you the rest of the pictures we took in this room.
Our Fijian tatoos. Mine signified a queen and Josh's a warrior.

Looks like you guys had a blast! Brad and I went to Hawaii for our 1st anniversary. Even though it rains often there, it's always pretty light rain and it usually feels good! So glad you guys enjoyed yourselves, you deserve it after all the wedding planning! We need to have you guys over sometime....don't hold me to that too soon though, "soon" for us usually means within the next year! Keep the posts coming!
oh I am so glad to see some pics of the trip. Those are the fun details that we don't get at Sunday dinner. It looks like it was absolutely wonderful!
Beautiful pictures! Looks like it was a lot of fun.
