Foliage in Jason's parent's backyard. The pomelo tree is my favorite!
Barber's Point. A local beach on an old military base. Just five minutes from the house.
Waikiki at nighttime. Palm trees looking festive.
One of the most memorable activities for me. On Christmas eve, Jason and I hiked to the Makapuu Lighthouse. I made this hike with my family years ago, but it was new for Jason. It's a must when you visit Oahu. Such a fun/easy hike - paved trail the whole way up. And, the view at the top is spectacular. We even saw a whale jumping way out in the ocean. Just awesome!
Our first night on Maui and the sunset did not disappoint.
The Napili Bay area is stunning. Phenomenal beach. Just 15 minutes to downtown Lahaina. Views of both Molokai and Lanai.
Fresh pineapple, mango, and banana. We made LOTS of smoothies. And, went through LOTS of toilet paper...
View from breakfast. Not too shabby. Tropical flower (which kind of resembles a weapon) adorning our table.
Our last night in Paradise spent at the Lahaina Prime Rib & Fish Company. Arrived at our table just in time to watch the sun set over Lanai. It was still happy hour. Jason got double the mai tai fun (I'm faking it in that photo - I promise). Needless to say, I drove home.
Finally, our growing turtle ohana enjoying the sand and sunset.
Aloha Hawaii, until we meet again!
