Last week we were here. Hawaii!
It was windy but wonderful.
Second Honeymoon.
We went to see the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." Beautiful Canyon. Beautiful Waterfall.
Hiked to a waterfall in the Canyon.
Tried to shelter ourselves from the wind at times. There were winds of 25-30 mph the whole time we were there.
We went to a Luau
Met a chicken family.
Watched the sunrise.
Watched waves crash.
Went on the most beautiful hike I've ever been on.

Chilled with a seal on the beach.
Went snorkeling 4 times. It was my first time snorkeling and i loved it! We went to three different beaches and we loved them all for different reasons. It was so cool to see so many different fish. We saw fish bigger than our head and as tiny as a fingernail. we saw an eel and sea urchins. It was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone.
It also rained at least once a day so we saw plenty of rainbows.
Spouting horn. We saw this on our last day there. It was cool. A hole that the waves have carved out of the rock. When the waves are big it sends a burst of water like this.
Wore sandals the whole time. Wonderful.
We ended our trip with one last sunset and then headed to the airport.
Where they had this sign. You can't bring any fruit but pineapple. Apparently because the "mainland doesn't want Hawaii's fruit flies." (according to the checkpoint guard) David had an Asian pear and they made us eat it before we went through the check point. Do they not realize that the "mainland" imports Asian pears and all the other fruit they're keeping us from bringing? And why is a pineapple the exception to the stupid rule? Lame.
So we spent five days in wonderful Hawaii and then came back to a snowstorm this weekend. Lame. I'm ready for spring. Oh and we both have gotten the stomach flu this week. It hit David the day we got back and then hit me Friday. So not cool. I've developed a new appreciation for food. This stomach flu is not the usual one where you don't feel hungry as long as you're sick. I haven't been able to eat hardly anything and I've been hungry every second. It's horrible. David and i have been talking about all the food we're going to eat when we're better almost non-stop for the past couple days. David is mostly better now and i hope I'm getting close to better. I can't handle it much longer. So yes sometimes change isn't the best thing. From paradise to snow: not great. From healthy to sick: horrible. But we did have a wonderful vacation before we got knocked to the ground this week.
And as always we have this cute doggie to come back to. Today i stayed home from church because my stomach was not feeling up to it. While i was home Ray Ray stuck his head through the cat door we have to the basement (compliments of the previous owner) and started barking at some unseen thing downstairs. He's afraid of the basement so of course there's no way he would actually go all the way through the hole to go really investigate; it's hard enough to get him to come down when we're down there too. Silly Ray Ray.
