H A W A I I

Words cant describe how amazing this trip has been!

Hawaii is just beautiful yall.

We were there for a total of 10 days and it was by far the best family vacation I've ever been on. Especially since the only other vacations consisted of a weekend in Port Aransas. Doing a day by day recap would honestly be waaaay too long so I decided to just mention the best parts and post a TON of pictures.

 

 

*Honolulu*

 

We only spent 3 days in Honolulu and it was SO. MUCH. FUN. We stayed at the Rainbow Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and that was by far my favorite place to stay at. There was so much more shopping and food places compared to the Sheraton we stayed at in Maui. We went to the beach once but I cant stand sand so that was the only time we went. 

 We went to the Sea Life Aquarium and swam with dolphins which was by far my most favorite thing in the entire world. Seriously though, I had a dolphin themed room when I was like 7. Swimming with dolphins was one of the top 5 best moments of my life. We swam with two and one was the same dolphin that was in 50 first dates and kissed Drew Barrymore! Honestly though I was super nervous because I didn't know how the dolphins would react around me since im pregnant and ive read that they can sense it and tell! But they did perfectly fine and had the time of my life!

We also stopped at Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona. Tenley was uninterested 99% of the time so I was mostly focused on keeping her occupied but it was crazy to see the boat at the bottom of the ocean!

 

 

 

*Maui*

 

While Hilton Hawaiian Village had much more to offer at their hotel, the view in Maui was RIDICULOUS. I loved being able to look out the window and it was exactly how you would picture Hawaii. I have never seen a place more beautiful in my life!

One of the best things about Maui was going to the Luau. Tenley did great and loved dancing in her seat with all the hula dancers! We also got to take some great family pictures which was definitely needed because we haven't taken any in forever! Shea and my mom got to have their first Mai Tai (some alcoholic drink) and I just stuck with the non-alcoholic ones which were still just as cute!
The island was unreal yall.
While we were swimming out in the ocean we saw 6 HUGE sea turtles.
SEA TURTLES YALL
just swimming around like it was no big deal!  

The next few times I was stuck at the pool while kylee and trey took surfing lessons and kylee, shea, and trey went on a rainforest hike.  But my mom and I went shopping to keep Tenley and I busy while everyone else was gone.
Unfortunately the last two days I wasn't feeling too well and was having lots of cramping and an awful headache
{completely normal for me this pregnancy}
So I was stuck in the hotel room resting and napping with Tenley. Tenley cuddles are always much appreciated. So I cant complain about being stuck with her while everyone else was in the pool.

 

well that pretty much sums up our trip! It was the best 10 days and we had such a wonderful time together! Tenley and I are still trying to get used to the time change and naps normally don't happen to late afternoon now but we will get back on schedule at one point!
