The Honeymoon

So I figure it's getting about time to post these :)

It's only been two months.....

So to start with, here is the gorgeous ocean view from our hotel room. Though it was a little extra, like ten more bucks a night, I felt it was totally worth it. Opening the curtains to this every day was amazing!


This is a picture with the amazing zoom on Mike's camera. I actually took this from the hotel window.


After enjoying the view we took a walk down the gorgeous beach!


As we were walking around downtown Waikiki a guy had these two parrots and asked if we wanted to take our pictures with them. So he put them up on our heads and took some cool pictures and then asked us for whatever money we could give him. Well maybe he should have asked before hand, cuz we only had 3 bucks in cash on us. He was pissed and stalked off angrily, but oh well, should've asked us first


We found this cool little restaurant called the Puka Dog. It was like eating a hot dog but it was in a giant roll with a hold poked in it. And they had tons of way cool toppings. I had mango relish on mine :) I can't believe we didn't take a picture of them! But they were so gooooooood!!

And then we walked down to the aquarium and they just had these amazing trees everywhere. They were just huge and had those big roots growing down from the limbs.


So at the aquarium (which was only 8 bucks to get in and I loved it!) there were some really cool exhibits. But my favorite was that right outside the aquarium there were some ceramic pieces by Jun Kaneko!! I love his work! :) :) This was my favorite one of the ones that were there


They had this really cool Nautilus, which was amazing because I had never seen a live one, just their cool shells.







While walking around the International Market Place we came across a place selling coconuts so of course, I had to have one :) So when I ordered one, they just pull it out of the fridge, chop the top off and stick a straw in it. I loved it



And that necklace I'm wearing was my favorite thing that Mike bought me on the trip :) :) :)


So this trip was everything that we wanted it to be. A special, once in a lifetime opportunity full of such amazing things :)
