Changed our minds... We went to Hawaii

Instead of going to Thailand like we planned, which I am sure would have been very cool, we went to Hawaii. We decided on Hawaii, partly because the tickets where almost the same price, partly because I have a friend who lives in Hawaii who we could stay with, partly so we didn't have to worry so much about what I ate and partly because we needed a little America but wanted some where tropical. And let me say it was the perfect vacation. Great food, great weather, great people and an over all great time. As soon as we were on the plane headed back to Korea, I wished we could go back. So maybe I can convince my family to take our family vacation there!!


Here are a few pictures of our trip. 

First morning. Looking out from Andrew's house in  North Shore.

Sunset beach. 

My friend Andrew who was so kind to let us stay with him, use his house, car and show us around.

Looking down from the top of Koko Head. 

At Haliewa Farmer's Market. 

Andrew getting our paddle boards ready.

It seems like every time I go to the beach,
I take a picture of a child playing in the sand. But they are just too cute. 

At Pearl Harbor. Submarine. 

USS Missouri in the distance.
Remains of the USS Arizona in the foreground. 

This is at Sharks Cove where we went snorkeling.

Bomb fire on the beach and s'mores. Can't get much better!

My surf lesson. 

Paddling out. 

Got up on almost every wave I caught. 

Hiking up to Monoa Falls.

Out at the point. The end of North Shore. Also our last day. 

We had an amazing time. We have been so blessed to have this experience! Also we are indebted to Andrew, who kindly let us stay with him, we could not have done it with out him. I can't wait to go back again. 

I hope you enjoyed the picture. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last year with packages and pray. We appreciate it beyond words!

Much love, Lisa
