Summer Vaca week 2.5 - HAWAII

It was so nice to make it back to the Aloha State where I was returning for the 2nd time and pete was going for his 1st! Both of us agree that it was an amazing trip!! Mainly full of relaxing and i got to do some of the touristy stuff i didn't get to do previously! We also got to spend lots of fun time with stacy and spencer since they didn't have to work at all while we were there!! how perfect!!
Day 1-chill and grocery shop then eat with stacy and spencer
Day 2-BEACH- Wiamea!one of my favorite beaches to go to while at school... and dolphins welcomed us!! there was about 5-6 of them and they were putting on a show for us! one was jumping and flipping and doing all sorts of tricks! it was great!! lots of swimmers went out to meet them since they hung around for about an hour! but then the lifeguard asked everyone to move back for their space! but it was great! we also ate at a lil motor home restaurant shack and ate some yummy shirmp and steak with rice!!mmmmm we also brought out the boogie boards! idk whose legs those are... The boys also got to go play ball while we hung out with the Perkins fam.








Day 3- we went to Kailua beach- some did not put enough sunscreen on to handle sun for day 2... but we still had fun in the sun and got our boogie on! After the beach we went to the movies and watched Transformers 2.. it was entertaining=successful move
Day 4- Hanauma Bay Snorkling.... not as hyped up as it seems... but pretty and has a lovely beach area!

Day 5- Me and pete went on a hike to Maunawili Falls... This was the ONLY thing pete required of us doing this whole vacation... to make out under the waterfall... hahah .. i had previously done this hike and it was only a few min from where stacy and spencer live! It was a fun muddy hike and then a refreshing finish.. except the fire dept bringing a helicopter in and getting the guy who broke his leg out on a stretcher.. that was interesting

Day 6- we went Shopping! Stacy had some errands to run so I went with the boys shoping down in Waikiki at the Ala Moana Mall and we all purchased some clothing.. the boys got polos and i got some pants and a shirt.. and sunglasses.. and a bracelett.. . hehe but i bet Ispent about the same amount of money as the boys! We also went to dinner at The Back Yard House with one of spencers roommates on the boat!There was this old lady outside wearing a hooters shirt and spandex.. had to get her in the pic

Day 7- Sunday! Went to church and had a good time with Stacy and Spencer's friends we had heard so much about the Perkins' and had FHE and dinner over there with their fun family! Pete had some nice typical hawaiian food and some fresh orange mangos which were yummy!!
Day 8- Pearl Harbor Day- We got to go early and take pictures of spencer's roommate Lee getting promoted on the USS Arizona memorial.. We got to be there all by ourselves without the other tourists around. We also watched the movie at the visitors center which really put the whole situation into perspective- then went over to see the USS Missouri which spencer helped give some insight on what his boat will be like that he will be on. It was a perfect place to go right before the 4th of July and what hardships we went through for our independence. We then went to the beach at Lanikai where we had a fun photo shoot and got to see prettier fish and coral there than at Hanauma bay!!Day 9- MORE BEACH!! we originally went down to sandy beach which we had passed previously cause we saw big waves.. but once we got out of the car.. we were obviously not up to par for the INTENSE waves!! so we watched and then were told there were"fun" waves at another beach and.. where pete got stung by a portuguese manowar and played football and enjoyed the rays.. stacy and spence boogied lots this day!!Last full day-10- Laie Day.. we went to the Hukilau Cafe for lunch and stuffed our faces full of yumminess.. then i took them over to the point where i had jumped and bruised my legs severely.. hahah and then made our way to the PCC and go to some fun villages and the luau where i worked!! I also finally made it to see the night show.. which Kala and Albert got us better seats cause they got the hook ups! My friend Shaina from my old basketball team came over that night too and we talked from 12 am-2.. it was great catching up!!Day 11-We left for the airport around 5:30 am the next morning! It was so fun spending days at the beach and nights watching a movie or video games eating ice cream and. Stacy made us some wonderfull meals while we were there and they were the best hosts She also took 50-75% of the photos which also are always top notch!!! Thanks for the great time!! and now our next stop... back to LA!
