Aloha!

We did it! We actually went to Hawaii in 2012 to celebrate our 5 year anniversary!

The trip took us 16 hours to get there. We enjoyed 5 wonderful days in lovely Maui. Then, the trip back started ... it was long and took more than 16 hours due to storms in Dallas, TX but we eventually made it home. It was a fantastic beautiful trip that I will remember forever. I am so thankful that I was able to spend this time with my wonderful Trophyhus! Thank You Lord for putting us together and blessing us with these memories!

Ok, so here are some pictures. We took over 1800 but no worries, I didn't share them all!

Boarding the plane in Richmond on our long trip to Maui - so excited and fresh!

Josh loved driving the convertible all week ...

I enjoyed playing with my Father-in-Law's fancy camera. I'd love to have one of these, hint, hint.


The landscapes were gorgeous!

  The aquarium was very cool. I'm sitting in a tunnel and there are fish right over my head!


 We enjoyed some Hawaiin Shaved ice :)


 This is a picture of the resort we stayed at - three pools with ocean views. Very nice!


It's not too hard to wake up to this view everyday.


 The coast line was amazing!


 I felt like the Litte Mermaid ...without the fins ...


Even the McDonald's trash cans were Hawaain - Mahalo! 


 Even the restroom signs were cute (not at McD's).


 Palm trees everywhere!


 The sunsets ..


Fun in the hammock.


 Josh was afraid he'd get a little burnt so he wanted to cover up.


 One of the bays within the resort.


Luau 

 It took a while to get this picture right but it was fun trying. 


We saw a rainbow every day that we were on the island. They were just hard to capture.

Ahh ... paradise!

 
I was reminded this week that I am supposed to be running ... so tonight, I ran! I ran to get out som frustration and for a York Peppermint Patty ice cream bar. It was delish!

Aloha!
