Hawaiian Sunsets

Some of my favorite sunset pictures.

Pearl Harbor and International Market Place

Some of the men ventured out to Pearl Harbor while some of us ladies went shopping at the international market.

Please don't eat me Mr. Shark!

Ken's biggest fear is sharks! So he decided to go for it and jump in a shark tank with his brother and two of his brother in laws. He claims he hasn't overcome his fear of sharks at all, maybe it has intensified, if anything.  

No Regrets!

Ken was able to take some video clips of us girls surfing while he drank his beers....I'm super thankful that he captured this for me.

Surf Girls

 Some of us girls went on a surfing lesson adventure.

 It was a definite highlight of the trip for me.

 Our instructor and me.

This is me at the end of the week. Not! We were told by Ken's mom at the beginning of the week not to hold back. She said " I don't want anyone to go home with regrets, this is a trip of a lifetime." Her advice made me get over my fears and go for it. I was so happy that my face hurt from smiling at the end of that day.

Germaine's Lu'au (A tradtitional Hawaiian Feast)

 Dancing.

 Eating.

Our pig was roasted under ground. Check out the guys pecks! Must've been a heavy pig.

 Mahi Mahi , roasted pig, salads. 

Waimea Falls Hike

The waterfall itself wasn't very impressive but everything else on the hike was amazing.

Lots of movies were filmed in this rain forest: Lost, Jurassic Park, The Hunger Games to name a few. The smells and sounds and colors were so intense.
