HAWAII

Kevin and I went on a little trip to Maui last month for my good friend Jenny's wedding. It was an amazing trip, and was actually the first trip we've taken just the two of us since Cannon was born. It was also amazing because Jenny's generous family paid for all their guests to come down there! Although is was really hard to leave Cannon, it was a much needed vacation for the both of us. Thanks so much to Brian and Sarah and Kimberly and Ryan for watching the little buddy while we were gone.


We stayed at the the Fairmont Kea Lani in Wailea. This was the beach outside our hotel.

The night before the wedding there was a Luau wedding dinner. It was so much fun and amazing food!




Me and Jenny at the Luau






We were driving on this dirt road and we thought these lava fields were pretty cool so we stopped to take a picture.




This is an amazing little historical hawaian church that Jenny and Christoph got married in.







This was at the reception after the wedding. It took place on this amazing beachfront property overlooking the ocean, so beautiful!

The next morning Kevin and I took a boat ride out to Molokini to go snorkeling

Me and my cousin Liz. She lives in Maui and I haven't seen her in years! It was good to spend some time with her while we were there. She and her husband Joe, along with all their kids took
us on this beautiful hike through a bamboo forest which ended up at three different waterfalls. Towards the end of the hike you actually have to get in the water and swim to the next waterfall area. it was a lot of fun!
