hawaii

Isaac & I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Hawaii with my family! It was a perfect 2 weeks in paradise doing absolutely nothing but reading, relaxing, watching movies, taking naps, and of course, EATING! We also went on some short hikes, hung out at the beach and pool with our friends, the Budways, and played tennis and volleyball. We love Hawaii, especially the Big Island, because it never rains (on the Kona side where we stay), the beautiful contrast of the volcanic rock & green grass and palm trees, and it's not crowded like Oahu (if you go to hawaii, DON'T stay in honolulu!)Here are some pictures of our trip:





L&L! Our favorite lunch stop! Kalua Pork & Mac Salad. yummm

Mauna Kea Sunday Brunch! SO delicious



Holy's Bakery in Kapaau. When you go to Hawaii, you must go here. BEST PIES EVER! May I suggets the buttered coconut cream pie and the peach pie. HEAVEN!
