Last stop...Oahu!

Sunday, February 17, 2013

Last stop in our 3 week adventure. Oahu. Only there for 3 days, so we didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked, but awesome nonetheless!

Walking down was so much easier than walking up.

View from the top!

View of Honolulu





Pearl Harbor. USS Missouri in the background.


View of a harbor from our hotel.


I love flags! (On the USS Arizona Memorial)

View from the Arizona of the USS Missouri

Old gun turret from USS Arizona...pretty amazing. Whole experience was very solemn.


Growing Pineapple at the Dole Plantation. (Which was a huge tourist trap by the way) Although pineapples throughout all of Hawaii were amazing!

Banzai Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu. Normally has some of the best waves in the world when in season. Winter is the usual surfing high season. 


That's pretty much the best we got.


Please tell me this is not a Costco for Caskets?




All of these rainbow pictures are on the same one way drive...crazy. I don't think I've ever seen that many rainbows in a week!




This might be the first "Full sky" rainbow I've ever seen before. Photo obviously does not do it justice. Great way to end our trip!

Stay tuned for whatever adventure comes next!

Kauai: The Garden Isle

Sunday, February 3, 2013

Kauai. The greenest of the islands...and you're about to see why. Arguably my favorite island. Enjoy!
Grand Canyon of the Pacific


Looks like Mars?





One of the MANY waterfalls on Kauai.


Hawaii is definitely the land of rainbows.

Arielle says this looks like Neverland.


These guys were everywhere, no joke!

KONG!


Far away view of the "Paramount Peak" in the opening scenes of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" Look it up!

That's a road you can drive across.





Footprint...?
Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. (Can you name that movie?)

Far away rain. 




Napali Coastline

Queen's Bath. (Not 100% safe if you don't stay vigilant, but worth the hike.) You'll see why below.

Yes we hiked up those rocks...in the rain.

See?

Sunset view from dinner.
