Hawaii 2011

Brian and I were able to visit the North Shore of Oahu for about 5 days, it was wonderful! We relaxed with no scheduled routine enjoying snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing, laying out, swimming with sea turtles, eating some delicious food and just enjoying being together! Here are a few pictures of our stay:

This is the view from our place, right on the beach...

One day we drove part way around the island, this was the East side with a lot of mountains. It reminded us of LOST!

We went to Matsumots's for shaved ice and it was SO good! They put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the bottom of the cup and the ice on top with yummy flavor combinations!

It was HUGE!

Halewia was the closest town to us. We ate dinner there several nights and went to a coffee plantation and soap factory!

We ate at this local shrimp truck, SO good!

This was our delicious meal!

We also had fresh papaya and pineapple for breakfast!

These turtles would come so close to us that we could touch them, they were really big and very cool!

We saw several geckos too!

Our last night there!
