Hawaii. Yep! it has long been a dream of mine to visit all 50 states. I don't know if I will ever get there, but I do know that Hawaii was the one state I thought FOR SURE would be one I didn't visit! Or the last one I would visit. Why? Because it's so far away! And although it has attractions I would like to see, I was not passionate about wanting to go. Now before you cry "blasphemy", let me exp... Read Full Entry

I love to travel! Love to "see the sights!" I decided to start this travel blog to add some story to our trips. As it is now, I upload the pictures to some site, and that's about it. This blog will allow us to tell the story that goes with the pictures (and help remind me of any details I forget down the road ;)). I will try my hardest to add new trips to this blog in a timely manner! If you find that I post something that happened ages ago, it's probably that I forgot to post about it and just randomly came across the pictures! Hope you enjoy! ... full info

Wailuku River State Park

Coastline at Onomea Bay

This is the scenic route...Old Mamalahoa Hwy on the Hilo side

Akaka Falls State Park

Akaka Falls...obviously. ;) It's 442 ft! Looks little when you don't have a frame of reference, but it is loooooong way down!

Waipio Valley Overlook

Remember when I said there was another overlook on the other side? Well this is it! Again, you could hike down to the beach, but again, we were short on time.

La'aloa Beach Park (Magic Sands Beach)

Our last night in Hawaii was spend on the beach I had been searching for. So hard to find! It's called magic sands, or disappearing sands, because every year the tide washes the sand out to the reef leaving nothing but jagged rock along the coast. (it brings the sand back in the spring)

San Francisco

Flying home, layover in San Francisco and the first and only time I have seen the Golden Gate Bridge! It's just below the taller mountain just left of center.

Amazing!
Now I really want to go to Hawaii! Glad that Amy's wedding took you there and that they had such a beautiful ceremony. It looks amazing and there's so much culture to absorb. I'm also not a fan of being on/in the large bodies of water, but I could totally hang out on the beach and enjoy the breeze and smell of the ocean! The scenery looks amazing and it would be so cool to see all of the different climates. Oh, and the volcano thing kind of freaks me out and fascinates me all at the same time! Lol. That church and the murals look really pretty too. :) I didn't have much interest in Hawaii before reading your blog, but now I'm intrigued. :)
