Memories Journal #22
Finally, I have a new memory to log in my Memories Journal. I'm still glowing from my vacation to Hawai'i last month, and the rainbows, turquoise waters, soft sand and iconic Diamond Head still bring me smiles. This island captures every color of the rainbow, which is why all the watercolors are sprawled out on display. Cannot wait to go back!

Hawai'i-a long overdue honeymoon
This month, my husband and I had the opportunity to take a vacation alone to Hawai'i. We never had a real honeymoon when we married in 2004, so finally 14 years later we were able to make it happen. This year has been active with hurricanes, so I was concerned we would not be able to go. Luckily, we timed it just right and missed Hurricane Olivia. The late summer air was incredibly sweet, flowers and rainbows are everywhere! We ate a ton of pineapple, drank the best coffee, and came back sun kissed and happy. I will be back!
Hiking Diamond Head, it was very hot and crowded but worth it! |
Waimea Falls, this garden was paradise but full of moquitoes! |
Our final day in Waikiki, one of the happiest days too. Notice my new Tahitian Pearl purchased in Honolulu! |
My husband enjoying a Mai Tai, and it was good to see him smile. |
Hanauma Bay where we snorkled. Beautiful place, but I learned I am not a fan of snorkeling! |
Waikiki Beach, very pleasant to swim in compared to the frigid waters of the Oregon coast. |
I smiled so much this first day of coming to Honolulu! |
Nuuanu Pali Lookout overlooks the windward coast of O'ahu. Bring a jacket, it's very windy up here. |
My absolute most favorite place on Earth-Kailua Beach Park. Turquoise surrounds you. |
