Hawaii

We were able to tour Pearl Harbor and immerse ourselves in a very remarkable part of our history. It was great to honor and pay our respect to the people who fought for our freedom!
Drum and I got to spend a week in Hawaii for our anniversary! Oh my gosh it was such an amazing vacation. We spent a week having fun, relaxing, and waiting in line at Matsumotos. Anybody who knows me knows my obsession over snow cones and let me just say, I have fallen in love for the second time in my life... Although the shaved ice isn't as sweet as Drummy I definitely enjoyed my time with it. We went snorkeling at Hanaumo Bay, I know I didn't spell that right but oh well, it was amazing. Another highlight of our stay was when we went on a snorkeling cruise... a storm prevented us from making it to snorkel but the ride out was amazing. We found a pod of dolphins who swam along with us for a while and rode the boughs of the boat. I've never been that close to dolphins before. They were spinner dolphins and surprisingly small but had an amazing ability to fly out of the water spinning like crazy! We got to go to a Luau and sing on stage for our anniversary in front of hundreds of people at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I got a beautiful ring to signify our anniversary and our trip and the wonderful and beautiful Hawaii. Wow. Anyway we loved Hawaii and were definitely not ready to come home. Well we have to get back to life, but I still brought a lot of the beauty home with me... Drum!
