Hartpence Hawaiian Vacation

Let's just say we weren't in a rush to get home! We had such a blast in Oahu, Hawaii! It was our first trip to the islands and we decided we wanted to do the "tourist" thing and visit North Shore, Pearl Harbor, the Hawaii Temple, etc. and we are so happy we did! We stayed in Waikiki for a couple days (with the sweetest ocean view ever) and my parents later flew in and we stayed in a condo near the North Shore. We bascially lived in our swimsuits for the week and I think we did everything- from ordering Shave Ice from Matsumoto's, bumped into friends, attended a Luau, went to BYU Hawaii and the PCC, eat pineapple ice cream at the Dole Plantation,  and even managed to relax at the beach and swim with sea turtles in Hanauma Bay which was the highlight of our trip. It was super windy and the surf wasn't great which was a bummer, but we definitely can't wait to go back. We took a ton of images but were only able to do a few in the slideshow so enjoy!
