hawaii 2010!

Tim and I were never able to take a honeymoon after we got married because of work. Once we realized it was entirely necessary for a break to keep our sanity, we started planning a vacation. ( and by "we" I mean "I") i looked for months for a sweet deal and finally found one to MY favorite vacation spot ever!! We spent 10 days in Heaven!! I never wanted to leave, but ill admit, it was nice to come home and sleep in our own bed and see our families. This is going to be a huge picture post. Ill try to caption the pictures but I think they pretty much speak for themselves..

On the bus to our hotel.. We woke up at 5 that morning to travel and its really easy to tell we were tired...but still so stoked to be in HAWAII!! WOO HOO!


Tim and I really wanted to go to the temple. Its gorgeous and we were able to see some awesome people there!!


This cute couple lives in Hawaii. Kilie and I went to high school together, and I had not seen her since....We both married the boys we sent on missions. She helped me through a lot, and I don't think she ever even knew it.

Tim and I were going to be big tourists this trip.....Apparently so was the couple taking the picture with us! hahaha

I love all things history so it was a huge deal for us to go to Pearl Harbor. Its such a unique spot to tour. It was so quiet, people were so respectful, it was clean, and they even had survivors of the attack at the front so you could talk to them. It was really neat to see it with Tim.

Sometimes, Tim is a big kid. He cracks me up.

Conversation with Tim regarding this propeller....

"Tim look a flower!!"

"Trina that's a prop, they use those on ships to move."

"I was wondering why they would want a big metal flower."
We went on lots of tours.. This one is my favorite cuz it takes you to places like the Dole Pineapple Plantation...And they have ice cream there!!

Tim the Pineapple!!! So cute!

As a pineapple I can hula!!

Reidhead Pineapples!!

Anyone that knows me knows I could literally live on Ice cream...This ice cream could change the world! ...NOT JOKNG!!! Easily one of the most fantastic things ever!!!

hahah guess what kind of nut they grow here in Hawaii!!! we got free samples.. AND ice cream, BEST TOUR EVER!!

just cuz he is so good looking!! owe owe hubs!!

Craziest wind EVER!! It just about knocked me over!

Hunama bay snorkeling!

We got to go to the PCC...AKA, one of the funnest days of our trip!! Our favorite island was Samoa.

This man loved Tim's laugh, but then again, who doesnt? ahah Tim thought he was the funniest guy and would burst our laughing in spots where nobody else got the joke. I love his laugh, and his random bursts of giggles. It brings me so much joy!

They threw Tim this woven square ball thing and he was SO excited about it. hahahahah He is so easy to make happy! I love him!!!!!!!!!!!

They were so much fun to watch!!!Canoe Parade..

This is before the dinner!! SOOO good.. I think we would get fat if we lived in Hawaii because the food there is ...INCREDIBLE!!!!

We spent almost every day in the water! We loved the ocean and all the little fishes that were in it!! The water is so blue that you can see your feet when you stand in it!! We loved every minute.. well minus the mean sunburns! haha

We got to go snorkel with all the fishes.There were LOTS of big fish in the water that day, and some crazy waves that made me sick when I just floated so we had to constantly swim.

Tim Loved the water!!

Conversation with Tim while we were enjoying the sun....

"Trina have you ever built a sand castle?"

"Yes honey, I was like 5"

Couple minutes pass......

"Trina have you ever covered someone in sand?"
"Not that I can remember...why ?"

"Can you cover me in the sand?"

Tim digs a hole and jumps in, I start covering him

" Tim I feel like I am 5 again"

"I feel like there is sand in my pants"
HAHAHAH I LOVE MY HUSBAND!

I had to write him a love note in sand!!!

Kickin back and relaxing, this is at our hotel .

HAHAHAHAHA nice buns hun.

We were ready to go home to our house, sleep in our own beds, see our sweet families, and spend some time with our best friends!!!

Apparently they were excited to see us too, this is what we came home to.. HAHAH needless to say, we felt pretty special!!!

We had SUCH a blast relaxing and just doing whatever we wanted when we wanted. It was a nice break from work and an AMAZING time together! I loved having Tim to myself for 10 days! Im sooo glad that I get him for eternity!! We are so grateful we got the chance to go...we've even started to save for next years trip!!!!!
