HAWAII

In the off chance that we may be attending an ugly Hawaiian t-shirt party tonight, I figured it would only be appropriate to share the pictures of our trip to Hawaii for Christmas in 2006.  These photos were hiding on my external hard drive from my last computer, so when I revisited them I realized how priceless they were.  We took a ten day trip and split them evenly between Maui and Honolulu, & it’s so breathtaking to see that these islands are a part of the United States.  Even the hotel in Maui looked like paradise.

{This picture is evidence of a once in a life time opportunity.  This is a tail of a humpback whale, and it was mating season at the time we were in Honolulu}
