Hawaii

Jamie and I were blessed to be able to go to Hawaii the first week in July to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.  My parents flew out from Michigan to stay with the boys.  It was an absolutely wonderful time.  I know my parents had a good time with the boys but I know our time was much more relaxing ;)

This was the view from our room.  We would sit and drink our morning coffee and decide what we were going to do that day.  It was gorgeous.  We decided it was nice to go just the two of us but it was also a place that would be fun to take the boys some day.  Lots of things to do as a family.

There were a couple of days where clouds rolled it and it rained a bit but not for long.  And since it was so warm the rain felt nice.  We did a hike one day along the coastline and even with the clouds it was breathtaking.  It was so fun to walk with my handsome man, not caring what we did or didn't do.....we were together and enjoying the time.

This is again the view from our balcony....it never got old.

We decided one day to go zip-lining. It was a great time and we were even able to do it with our friends, Dan and Erin who were in Maui at the same time as us.  The two guides we had were hilarious and it was never a dull moment.

The views of the ocean were again absolutely beautiful....

We were glad that we chose to do zip-lining it was a lot of fun and something that we both enjoyed....

There were several beaches around where we were staying and they were all different.  Some were good for snorkeling and others for boogie boarding and surfing.  What afternoon we decided to try boogie boarding with Dan and Erin.  It was a blast.  The waves were huge! Jamie's first ride he was wearing flippers to help kick and it came flying off.  It was so fun trying to catch the perfect wave....there were so many to choose from.

This was probably one of our favorite days...we were in the sun, riding waves and having lots of laughs with each other and our friends.  Great memories.  I love this man more everyday.

I shocked Jamie when I went out there and kept going. He didn't really think I would do it or would like it but I was hooked.  He said that when Erin and I were out together they could always find us because we were just laughing/screaming as we caught at wave into the beach.  So fun!

This was our view from our last anniversary dinner spot.  We ate so well while we were there.  We usually had breakfast and lunch at our place and then would go out for dinner.  The only criteria Jamie had was that the place needed to have a view of the water. This dinner was no exception.  It was gorgeous.  It was a wonderful trip enjoying each other and reminiscing about the 10 year journey we have been one.  It has been a great journey and we can't wait for the next 10 years. Thanks  to my parents for coming and spending time with the boys....I know they had a great time. I hope they made as many special memories that we did.
