Hawaii and more

I have been trying to do about one post a month, so I figured I better get on my April post. This has been a great month. I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii with my brother. It was so amazing. I had never been there before and I treasured every experience. Some highlights of the trip were:
  • Snorkeling. I loved it and I could have done it all day. We saw enormous turtles who could be a tad too friendly, but it was amazing.
  • My first ever massage. It had its weird parts, but I loved how relaxed I felt afterward.
  • Coby's status. This is more of a joke between us, but because of his selling, we were upgraded to a suite and were served breakfast every morning, afternoon tea, and appetizers every evening. I ate way too much.
  • Snorkeling, oh wait, I already mentioned that, but I loved it so much it was worth an extra mention.
  • The volcano. It was a long drive, but it was amazing standing on a live volcano.
  • The dancing. Coby and I are both dancers and one night they had a country dance and we ripped it up. We had to avoid all slow songs, but we rocked the line dancing.
  • The lava tubes. They were incredible to walk through. The volcano was so crazy, one side was a desert and dead and the other side was a lush rain forest.
  • My hair. Okay, not really. My hair would not go straight. I spent one morning straightening it and by the time we got to breakfast, it was curly.
  • The sunsets. They were amazing! I would have loved to share them with Jon.
To finish off, here are a few random pictures. I love this one of Dylan and Livie. They were playing dress up. He was her prince.

This last one is a Sunday nap. Usually Jon is the only one who naps on Sunday, but this time he was the only one awake and had to document the experience.
