Ahhhhhhhhh...Hawaii...a place I never thought to go...BUT!! When my younger brother and his soon-to-be-bride decided to get hitched there on February 14th, all that changed!!
It ended up that my older brother couldn't take his wife, and I left My Man behind. That was a bit weird! But, it worked! Another single gal and the two of us roomed together in a huge condo at Waikoloa Village on the Big Island.
 |
| Beautiful sunsets! |
We were there for eight days, but I also had two extra days to get to and from Portland.
There wasn't enough time to see and do everything, but we did a lot!!
 |
| Amazing foliage and flowers everywhere!!! |
 |
| The most memorable church service at Living Stones Church with the ocean at our back. |
 |
| A day of sightseeing in the Hilo area. This is Rainbow Falls. |
 |
| Ate amazing food...lots of fresh fish and seafood!! We ate twice at this place "The Fish Wagon." It was my fav! |
 |
I got to snorkel for the first time! This was the most beautiful little cove.
I got to see at least a dozen different fish and a Moray eel...wow!!! |
 |
| The Voyagers of the Pacific luau was spectacular!! What yummy food and talented, authentic performances! |
 |
| I thoroughly enjoyed the self-guided tour at the Parker Ranch! |
 |
| Amazing history with hands on displays! |
 |
And the highlight if the trip...the wedding!!!
Congratulations Darrell and Michelle Jackson!!
It was a wedding to remember...may all your dreams come true~ |
 |
| The wedding site background. |
 |

What an awesome trip, and so cool you got to snorkel for the first time! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic pictures and memories! Hawaii is not on my bucket list, but I can sure see why people go there!
ReplyDeleteOh my .. I sure do miss Hawaii. I went there many times as a kid and have gone back twice in the past 20 yrs. I can recall watching a 4th of July Rodeo on the Parker Ranch as a kid.
ReplyDeleteGreat and wonderful times!
What a lovely place. Like Ian said, not on my bucket list but so lovely. So glad you got to go!
