Oahu, Part 2

Part 2 of our Oahu trip.  As I mentioned in our previous post we took several drives along the oahu coast line.  There are several hikes and scenic spots along the way and the view is always so gorgeous.  Below are a few places we stopped at:

Halona Cove

Halona Cove/Blowhole - I don't have a good pic of the blowhole only a video

Makapuu Point Lighthouse, the lighthouse is not pictured, the lighthouse itself was not very impressive but the view was!

Views from Makapuu Point

Me, just enjoying the views

We stopped by Tropical Farms - Macadamia Nut Outlet, where they had tons of different flavored macadamia nuts and samples galore.  Pretty awesome and delicious.

Chinaman's Hat from a distance

Road views.

Polynesian Cultural Center.  They have the most amazing evening show there, I would definitely recommend it!

We got the evening show + buffet package, I was pretty impressed by the entrance to the large dining hall

The center is split up into different "islands", you get to experience Samoa, Tahiti, Hawaii, Fiji, and some of the other Polynesian Islands.  Each island has its own show and they teach you different things from each culture.  Above is a marriage ceremony re-enactment.

Can you spot the climber?

Oahu, Part 1!

TGIF!! Finally getting around to posting some of our honeymoon pictures.  We went to Honolulu, Hawaii for a total of 7 days!  It was an awesome and relaxing trip.  We went out in the morning, took naps in the afternoon, ate great food and went out in the evening.  It was perfect and relaxing, which is just what we needed after all the wedding planning and projects we had taken on.  I will post these in 3 parts, mostly because I don't want to overwhelm you guys with pictures.  Here goes:
Airport Greetings!

Waking up to this was bliss.

Honolulu

After months of crazy wedding planning and DIY projects it was nice to finally relax.

First day was a beach day :)

Oh and we also went to the Dole plantation...

Had to get the Dole Whip, SO GOOD!  I'll have pineapple soft serve any day please!

Even nuts are SPAM flavored in Hawaii....
Have a great memorial day weekend everyone!
