Our trip to Hawaii was 10 days in a tropical paradise and we didn't want to come home.
We landed to torrential downpours in Honolulu, and if it wasn't for our friends, Emi and Andre, who happened to be staying in Waikiki at the same time, we would have been miserable in the tourist infested town. But, we made the best of the deserted beaches at night and enjoyed the warm sand and sweet smells in the air.
Maui was more our style. Our condo was bigger than our apartment (that's not really saying much) and more good friends, the Kelly Family, joined us in Lahaina. We spent 8 days on the beach in the sun. We saw some amazing fish underwater, James surfed, and we rented a tandem cruiser for a couple of days to get us around town. One day we visited a cute little hippie town called Pa'ia and spotted whales off the coast. I imagine everyone who visits Hawaii dreams, as we did, of selling it all and moving to paradise. One day...

biking to the beach...the life
good friends to play with
no tummy laying on the beach for me
nothing keeps some people out of the water

Great photos! Makes me really want to get our trip booked. Maybe you will be up for going back in April? ;)
Looks like you had a lovely and relaxing Christmas! I am with you, Maui is much more my style. Less touristy and much more peaceful. You look fabulous! I loved seeing a glimpse of your cute little belly.
Thanks Wendy! Hope you guys are well, too! Wyatt is getting so big and darling:)
