We went to Oahu for the first time and it was beautiful! It was probably our favorite vacation yet. We did so much and went all over the island but also spent a lot of time relaxing on the beach. We stayed in Waikiki but basically only slept there. Our favorite part of the island was definitely North Shore.
We went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay but our favorite spot was Waimea Bay where we swam with turtles.
We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and had a lot of fun. Scott, my brother-in-law's brother, works there and came with us to the night show. He was so sweet and got us an awesome discount! We went to the Luau and as shown above, had a pork dinner. Above was before...
And this is after. Yum!
We went to the temple grounds and the visitors center.
We had perfect weather and saw lots of rainbows but no double rainbows. :)
We went to Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial.
We hiked the Maunawili trail to this waterfall.
In addition to everything above, we also visited the BYU Hawaii Campus, the Dole Plantation, Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach with Derrick, Allan's brother, and his wife, Kate, drove up to Mount Tantalus, Sunset Beach (North Shore), ate the shaved ice at Matsumoto's, and saw Kualoa Ranch where Jurassic Park was filmed. We would love to go back and do everything again! It was so much fun!
