The 2 Year Mark!

I can not believe Chad and I have been married 2 years now! To celebrate, Chad surprised me by planning an amazing trip to Hawaii. Neither of us had been there before so we had a lot to see!



View from our hotel room
 



On Sunday we decided to drive up to see the temple and BYU-Hawaii.
It was raining so we only got a few pictures of the campus from our car.

I have always loved the Hawaii Temple and was so
excited to actually see it in person!





Chad at the Dole Plantation

 



Chad was so excited to see the Banzai Pipeline....and was a little bummed
when this was all we saw.
Lets just say we might go back for Christmas so we can see them get a little bigger:) I wish!




These little crabs were all over the rocks on the
beach next to our hotel


 


This made my day! It's really hard to see,
but we saw these
turtles swimming in the waves

We got to see a couple of these turtles up close
after they had crawled up onto the beach





While we waited for there to be some parking at Hanauma Bay,
we found the most amazing beach...
unfortunately this is the only picture we have of it.

Our last night there we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center,
and this was our dinner....
Appetizing right:)

One more view from our room...if you can't tell, I couldn't get enough of this view!


The Sting Ray pool at our hotel

There were also Hammer Head sharks next to the Sting Ray Pool




Before we caught our flight home, we stopped by Pearl Harbor.
You can see part of the Arizona sticking out of the water
