First hotel in Makaha west coast Oahu. We stayed at for $60/night. Priceline rocks!
Cruisin in our rental car
Makaha beach, we saw a turtle snorkeling! so cute!
On the drive to north shore we stopped by this garden. Cool peacock huh?
this reminds me of a kettle or something. Love the green!
Felt like we were in a movie like spiderwick chronicles

Don't you just love the colors?

little waterfall at the end of the garden hike. It's kinda small since they're in a drought. ppl swimming here
Polynesian cultural center. gotta love this place and even better b/c we got half price tickets!
learning the bamboo drums

It was funny b/c I think it was on this boat that the guys were rocking back and forth so the rower guy fell in the water.
Tim's learning tahitian dancing...knockin those knees!
Making coconut bread in the pit

Trying to get the spear into the ring on the grass...mine was hopeless

For 4 days we stayed at a friend's parents' place and this was their back porch. so nice b/c it overlooks the ocean. It was a cloudy day that day though

Oh these malasadas were divine. Like a fresh warm donut wiht mango custard. A friend introduced us to these. They had coconut custard ones too but I like these more.
so good I had to take a closeup of it
Sunsset while driving on the road
Road to hana in Maui. Gorgeous lush tropical forest.
These trees were cool b/c of all the greenery.
It was neat b/c as we walked along this trail there was a sign that said "Please be quiet, trees at work". We heard trees moaning as they were bending to the wind..
More cool trees
Different perspective
My monkey hubby...always climbing something :P
Hanging out by the trees
It was a gorgeous day. Well certain parts of the road it was rainy which was kinda funny.
Driving down the road to hana. This road is crazy b/c there are about 610 windy turns and many one lane bridges so the 57mile drive takes about 2-3 also depending on stops. I'm glad my pregnant self survived all the turns
ahhh who would not want to go to maui?
lava rock
Tim trying to be hawaiin
it was nice listening to the waves crashing into the rocks
Can't you just hear the waves crashing right now looking at this pic?
Love the mist
Little waterfall
Black sand beach. hmm...i think i prefere white sand beach
Oh my gosh! I loved the green here. It was so vibrant
Especially against the black lava rock it was even more green
Waterfall by the road. The largest one yet we've seen.
Getting late....
It was funny b/c it all of a sudden started pouring rain one second and later not.
Looks like a postcard huh?
On boat ride to go whale watching.
See the whale's fin! We didn't expect to see a whale b/c it's the end of the season and the whale usually swim to Alaska to feed. But lo and behold we did see a couple and this one was pretty close to us. The fin was cool too!
"ahh what a beautiful day and perfect time to be out and about..."
I'm so glad I'm in my last trimester and i didn't get sick that bad/much
It was interesting to see a rainbow ring around the sun as we were on the boat
This banyan tree covered an acre of land!
It would branch out and certain branches grew down to the ground. See in the background?...those are not trunks, they're branches
Walk to Honolua bay for snorkeling
tim in his snorkel gear
This is one of my favorite pics
Waiting for our food at Sea Watch restaurant. A pricier place but kinda overlooks the ocean. So romantic of tim huh?
Just can't stop taking pictures. We were waiting for our food.
Me posing in front of the sun setting
Tim's pose
There goes the sun....
Now to the cool part. So pretty.
If only sunsets were like that in Utah
I had a fish called "o paca paca" I think and Tim had lamb. It was deliciouso!
ahhh typical day in Maui
We had to have sherbert recommended by our Maui friend. It was delicious! They only have 2 flavors strawberry and pineapple
Driving in Haleakala National forest. Look at those clouds! It seemed like a very mystical place
Can you spot the rainbow?
More clouds..oooh lala!
and more. ...they kinda move in and out on ya.
hiking up to the peak. I had to take a break...wheew 10000 feet isn't that easy anymore.
We're here at the peak!
Sand moutains back there. I love the orange shirt contrast. Good job Tim!
I'm trying to surf on this rock. Not goin too great!
I love this place!
"what is the purpose of life on earth..."
Sweet pic huh?

I love this pic. The sun and the clouds. It's like i'm on a plane or something.
Tim is a superhero....he can fly to the clouds!
