Hawaii!!

There is really NOTHING I can say that would do this place justice! It was AMAZING!!! We had a blast! We drove the road to Hana, saw waterfalls, swam in the 7 sacred pools, rode a bike down a volcano (scariest thing I EVER did), saw the sun rise at 10,020 feet- we were above the clouds, road ATV things, went on a dinner cruise, went to a luau, drank fresh coconut milk.......like I said......it was AMAZING! We are already planning on going back for a few weeks when Zac gets home from Iraq. We have over 400 pictures, but here are just a few. After this trip, we realized WOW we need a new camera!!!


My hunky husband!!


At the Maui Ocean Center....the turtle is my new favorite animal!!



At Mama's Fish House.....aka.....the BEST restaurant in the WORLD!!!





The Sunrise on top of the Haleakala Crater

Then, the bike trip down the Crater.......wipe out!!


Drums of the Pacific Luau.....




ATVing












My favorite part of Maui! (I forget the name, and dont want to look it up!)











We came across this little road side stand.....The flowers were amazing, and only $5 for a bouquet! The sign said self serve. Zac opened his wallet and only had large bills......bummer! So I took pictures instead!





We also passed this guy out in front of his house that was selling coconuts. He chopped and cut them open, and we got to try fresh coconut milk. Did you know that you could use that in an IV, and it could go straight into your blood stream? I guess like saline.














On our flight back, we had a 6 hr layover at LAX....we could of caught a different flight home with a lot less of a layover.....but how often are we in LA? So we decided to keep with the flight, and we planned to meet my good friend Jon (from IU) for breakfast. I hadnt seen him in about three years. It was the first time Zac met him too. So I loved having the 6hr layover!! Who says that!?




We cant wait to go back!!! We already have a list of things we want to do!! We might stay on Oahu next time. There is a military hotel there that we hear is amazing!! But, we might go to Maui again too...because it was perfect!
