Hawaii Is Gorgeous
Shocking news, I know.
We've only been here for a day, but because we're only here for four full days we're trying to cram a lot in.
Just today, we:
- Walked along the beach and watched a hula concert. (This one was just Cassie while I was working.)
- Walked around the Honolulu Zoo and made my mom literally cry from nostalgia.
- Ate at a locally owned burger joint that was incredible.
- Drove around island, stopping at random parks and scenic lookouts to take in the view.
- Hung out in the hotel pool and played mini golf. (Don't judge us too harshly - it was after dark, or else we would've gone to the beach.)
We've already got a handful of things lined up for the next few days - tomorrow we're going to the beach, going to some more scenic places, and driving to the neighborhood where my parents lived while I was born; Wednesday we're going on a hike - so I don't know that I'll have time to post a lot of in-depth updates about Hawaii.
But! For once, we're actually doing a good job taking pictures! So here are several for you to enjoy!
The view from our hotel.
I don't actually know what this one is, they went here without me.
The zoo we went to all the time when I wasn't even 2 years old yet.
Sleepy tiger!
Us all at the zoo.
This giraffe was having a great time walking in circles while his friend watched from a distance.
Just a pleasant little park we stopped at.
Gorgeous beach.
I love mountains. Los Angeles's mountains are okay, but these are the real deal.
Look at this mountain!
Me, standing in front of a mountain.
I could just watch the waves break against the rocks for an hour.
A blowhole that water sprays out of whenever the waves hit it right.
A crazy cool little beach we're gonna go back to on Wednesday, probably.
I'm glad my mom and my wife get along so well!
This is all the same island.
Those are two other islands you can see on clear days.
