H A W A I I #3

DAY 4

Friday was relaxing which was much needed after so many eventful days. We slept in and walked 2 blocks to Waikiki Beach where we boogie boarded and soaked up the sun.

The top picture shows how Bridgett and I felt we looked the entire time we were boogie boarding, but in reality, the 2nd picture is what we looked like 99.9% of the time we were out there! 

This whole week was even better because we never did our hair or make-up. A little waterproof mascara and chap stick and we were good to go!

Bridgett and my favorite store right now is Kate Spade! Bridgett loves the neon and sparkles whereas I'm obsessed with the polk-a-dots and tailored clothes! We loved the store they had next to our hotel. 

Every Friday night there are fireworks on Waikiki Beach at 7:45! I mean seriously? A warm summer night, on the beach, watching the sunset and firework show in Hawaii is pretty much as great as it gets. And even though I love Disneyland fireworks more than any other, this came as a very close second!

What we wore...
My floral swim bottoms: Forever 21
Bridgett's fringe one-piece: Pacsun
Mom's black one-piece: Victoria Secret
My tan hat: Charming Charlies

Day 5

We spent our morning at Pearl Harbor, boating out to see the USS Arizona ship that still lies on the bottom of the harbor. It was humbling to be in a place where so many brave men lost their lives. I'll never forget the experience. 

The next place we went was to one of Oahu's Botanical Gardens. It was fun to stroll around and take pictures that were so GREEN! (which are hard to take when you live in AZ)

 One of the highlights of my trip was that we saw a few sea turtles on the last day!!! I have always loved these creatures and was freaking out about seeing them in the wild! 

Since I am not huge into souvenirs but wanted to have something to remember the trip, my parents bought me these cute little gold pineapple earrings! It seemed fitting since we ate pineapple almost every day. I'm completely obsessed with them and wear them all the time now. 

I hope you enjoyed our pictures and were able to get a taste of how much we enjoyed this family vacation! Mahalo friends!
