3 Year Anniversary part I

Bobby surprised me for our 3 year anniversary. Traditionally, the gift is 'leather'. Well, we filled our 'leather' bags up and jetted off to HAWAII for FIVE DAYS!! It was amazing. We had wonderful family stay with our kiddos, and we had an absolutely AMAZING time in Hawaii. Snorkeled, swam with dolphins and turtles, found some of the most amazing beaches, saw the Dole plantation, did some hiking, had some great food and saw some beautiful historical places and things!This is basically going to be a photo dump and Ill explain as I go in pictures.

We landed and walked a couple miles along the beach. Honolulu beach is SUPER rocky. We found out via the internet that Honolulu beach is actually not even real beach!! it was imported from CALIFORNIA!! WHAAAA??

It sprinkled for about 5 minutes, beautiful rainbow followed.

gorgeous sunset

The next day we were ready to go! We hopped in the car and found us a Jamba Juice. We spent every morning there. Bobby had an amazing Acaii bowl every day. I've made them a million times since, except no Acaii berries :-(. They die and go bad too soon to even ship anywhere. You can only get them frozen on the mainland. I stuck with steel cut oats and berries. 

We found the DOLE plantation! It was super cool. I think Bobby could have done without the stop, but I was super excited for it. On the plus side, Bobby found FLIP FLOPS that he can actually wear and that he loves. He has since voluntarily worn them on numerous occasions. Yay!

Being a monkey. Not surprised.

And this was the death of those shorts. You see, that rock I sat on, had CRAP all on it. I got a big red dot of whatever was on it, on my shorts... My awesome WHITE shorts that I LOVE. Also got a small hole in them on that spot. No big. I tried to sew the hole, I actually got rid of the stain, but then after I sewed them they were never the same. Cest La Vie shorts!

This was Sharks Cove. Beautiful Sharks Cove! We spent the afternoon snorkeling here. It was so amazing and just GORGEOUS. I had so much fun there. And hubby didn't even complain about the water because it was like bath water. 

What Bobby did to this pizza

This was pretty awesome!

They filmed the show 'lost' here! It was super cool to see and spend time on the north west part of the island. The road literally ends and you cannot continue. You have to go back to the middle of the island and go allllll the way around if you want to get to the west side. There are large mountains that you can't pass by road. It was one of the most beautiful places. No one was there. It was majestic.

Aren't the rocks beautiful??

There were crabs EVERYWHERE!! Oh my! it was crazy!! Big ones small ones medium ones... they blended in with the rocks, I was so afraid I was going to step on one! AND THEN, we saw the babies, and they are literally SEE THROUGH CLEAR!

That was day 1 and 2. More to come...
