Hawaii!

In August my friend Brooke and I went to Hawaii. We hit Oahu and Maui. Here's just a sampling of the fun we had!







The rainbow bamboo tree! Along the road to Hana we saw tons of cool vegetation like this!

































At the PCC with our plumeria leis and head pieces














Hiking with Carol Lamberti and her son Aldo. He needed to do a 5 mile hike for scouts so we joined them. It was a beautiful hike through bamboo forests, weird trees and a hidden pool.












Snorkeling was one of our favorite activities. This is near Black Rock where we saw huge sea turtles!

















Hooked up to the zipline with one of our guides ensuring safety!















Matsumotos Shaved Ice...there is a scoop of icecream in the bottom of the dish. So good!





















This is the waterfall at the Seven Sacred Pools. We swam in the fresh water and played in the waterfalls.
















One of the pretty spots on the Road to Hana.





















Ziplining! Here we are in our gear ready to go. The zipline tour was on the side of the Haleakala Volcano and was a lot of fun!















In front of the USS Bowfin Submarine. We toured it when we went to the USS Arizona memorial.
