Paradise

Hawaii was amazing! Becky kept telling me that I'd get "bit by the bug" and it for sure happened. However, as we started our vacation and had to leave our little Cash, Ryan and I both almost called the whole thing off. It was NOT an easy task to get on that plane. We missed him and his cute face the whole time, but we still enjoyed ourselves immensely. We stayed on the North Shore near Sunset beach. Our house was one away from the water, and very nice. Ted's Bakery was just a block away and we went almost every morning for their addictive donuts and omlets. We'd sleep to the sounds of the waves (and the occasional dog bark, thanks to Poi) every night. I wish I could remember everything that we did! We were able to visit the PCC and went to the Temple, which was beautiful. We visited the BYU-H campus and the Dole factory. Most of all, we played and laid on the beaches and enjoyed the crystal clear water. It was a dream. Here are a few pictures of the trip. I'm going to be brave and post some that I normally wouldn't, just so you all can get a good view of the belly. Enjoy!
