Hawaii!!

We are finally going to Hawaii!! We left February 26, but that morning was our psych 1010 final and Matthew, Chantel and I didn't have to take it so instead we went and got breakfast before I flew out.  We got Old Gris Mill and then we to Macey's to eat them. We then drove to SLC international and caught our airplane airplane at 12:20. We had a long 7 hour flight over. So I watched movies and hung out forever! We finally landed in Honolulu and were able to get off the plane. Sherleen and Denis met us there with beautiful leis we then drove an hour to their house and had dinner in Laie. 

On Thursday we got up and Jackson and I went surfing at 8 am! It was so nice and warm!! We walked to Laie point and looked out over the ocean and had fun there. Then we got back and drove to Pearl Harbor and went on a tour of the USS Arizona. After Pearl Harbor we headed home and got yummy fish tacos!
Friday we went Goat Island and the beach nearby. We swam for a while then headed back to the house and got ready to go the PCC. In the PCC we met Sherleen then went around to 3 different islands (Hawaii, Samoa, and Tonga) We also ran into one of Jackson's mission friends and he took us on a canoe ride. Then we watched the parade of Islands. It was so cool! Sierra and I got henna tattoos on our ankles. They were fun! Then we went back to the house for a bit and then headed back to the PCC for a luau. It was super yummy! Then we went to the Breath of Life show. All of the PCC was amazing!!

Saturday was our beach day so we went to the swap meet in Honolulu and got all sorts of souvenirs. Then we went to Hanuama bay and went snorkeling it was amazing!! We saw all sorts of fish and everything else you could imagine! Then we headed back home to the North Shore and went to Shark's cove and Sunset Beach. It was amazing to watch all the huge waves and the surfers trying to ride them. 

On Sunday we woke up at 4:30 in the morning to go catch our plane and drove the hour to Honolulu but when we got there we got the news that our plane had been struck by lightning and we had been bumped to the Red Eye which was at 9:00 that night. So we headed back to our house and went to church with Denis and Sherleen. 

We finally arrived home at 5:30 AM on Monday. I made it to school by 8:30 which I was highly impressed with. This vacation was so much fun!!
