Honeymoon in Hawaii

As promised, here are some photos of our adventure on that beautiful rock in the ocean. There were so many things that we loved about the place, it was tough to come back!






Yep. That is in the airport. Can't you tell through the gardens?



We decided that if we didn't get married in SLC, we would have had a destination wedding here. The grounds are just amazing.



Doing the wedding dance at the Polynesian Cultural Center luau live with Cousin Benny. Highly recommend it!



Our waiter, coming back for our plates, was completely shocked at the nigh unto complete disappearance of John's Hawaiian whole-fish. "Man, you whacked it!" So here is John's "whacked" fish. Good thing I'm not a vegetarian! {notice most of our photos have some theme revolving around food}



Trying to coerce the pineapple shrubs to come home with me. The Dole pineapple plantation smelled absolutely divine.



And here's John finding his inner warrior. Bless him.



Again with the inner Samoan. I love it. The PCC did him good! :)





We hiked around Pali Cliffs looking over the entire windward side of the island. Thank heaven for our knockoff-Keen watershoes! Isn't this gorgeous?!?



In effort to become the temporary kama aina (local), John even learned the Hawaiian Haka. You can see his favorite place to do it was in the car. :)



We are quite the suckers for local dives. 12 huge peel & eat garlic shrimp on rice. Never had better!



Yes, that's me doing the coconut dance... I'm sure I look completely coordinated up there in this still photo. :)



Best dessert I've ever had: macademia nut ice cream, berries, pineapple... only thing missing was chocolate. There's a reason we've put on a few since then.



It really is that blue! I swear! Absolutely no photoshop work here whatsoever.



Us.
