Hawaii!!

Hawaii was wonderful! It was so nice to be able to escape for 5 days and not worry about a single thing and just relax. It has become one of my favorite places to visit. We were able to see so many amazing places and look outs. There is so much more to Hawaii than just sandy beaches. We stayed just one block away from front street which had all the shopping, restaurants, beaches, wharfs, anything else you could think of. It was fun to be walking distant to everything we needed but also a fun thing we decided to do was rent a Jeep Wrangler. Here are some sweet pictures of us with our killer car.



We did alot of snorkeling. Em has lived in Hawaii for over 2 years and knows of all the cool places to go. Our favorite place was Napili bay. We saw a whole family of turtles and Jake even
managed to swim with one.




We also climed down to another bay with the coolest trail to get to it. The snorkling wasnt as great but we saw some amazing wildlife on the way there.

this one I look like an Idiot but we thought we were funny!

Emily is dating a Local in hawaii named Bobby! We loved him he is so great and is so much fun. He was sweet enough to get us into the Hyett Lu au for free. Which was such a saver for us. The coolest thing was to watch him perform. They have a performance where they do a fire knife dance, He was the only one who performed and was amazing, and freaked the crap out of us. I didnt get any pictures because I was so glued to him but we have it all on film that maybe I can up load. But Bobby is a stud and we were happy to meet him!

Sunday Em got us on a sail boat which was fantastic. We had a blast. We watched two whales jump in and out of the water and followed them for a little bit and then one got super close to us and flipped his tail out of the water. It was amazing to be so close to them and see how HUGE they really are. 1 whale weighs about 6000 lbs which is just crazy to me. They only stay for the winter months so we were able to get the last of them before they headed back to Alaska.



All around Maui was awesome. We had some rainy days and it was over cast but it was just on and off. We still managed to get some sun and not let the rain stop us from doing the things we wanted to.
