Our Hawaii vacation was on 2 islands, Oahu and Kauai. We took somewhere around 800 pictures total, so I'm only going to post a few :) These are from our time on Oahu.
Oahu as we were flying in! YAY - we were finally there!
Pearl Harbor
The day after we got to Hawaii, we went to Pearl Harbor. I have a whole new appreciation for this piece of history after visiting the memorial.
The Missouri battle ship - this is where the treaty was signed by the Japanese surrendering to the US.

The second day - we went to the Dole Plantation.
Baby pineapples!
Its kind of difficult to see in the picture; however, this is gum tree - it looks fake because of the coloration - as if someone painted it.
We were asked if we were honeymooners! Pretty good after 8 years :)
None other than a Pineapple Whip - hmmmmm! so good!
After the Dole Plantation, we headed up to the North Shore....this is the pipeline - you would never guess this is where surfing competitions were held.
Different type of pine trees than in Minnesota!
Pineapple fields - they were so beautiful on our way to and from the North Shore
The third day we headed up the east coast. This is Hanauma Bay - supposedly a great place for snorkeling, we didn't partake in snorkeling in Oahu - but it looked so refreshing!
A small beach we found on our way up the east coast - if only we had our swimsuits
We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Our time their included a guided tour around the 'park', a Luau and a show! It was a lot of fun!
