Alooooooha

Well for my graduation present as you all know...

my parents paid for an all expense paid trip to Hawaii

for Spencer and I 

{with the rest of the fam}

We rented a multimillion dollar home

that was huge and had this view that...

that....

{speechless}

here- see for yourself

{sunset - looking to the right}

{sunrise... the whole sky was pink}


I know right?
thats what i said,
or well... tried to say!

I got a ton of pictures around the house

but i wont overwhelm you with 100 pictures in this post

so just trust me when i say, it was NICE!

So there was an outside kitchen and sitting area

that spencer and i loved to relax in....

{big couch/bed}

{outside dinner table - and its view}

We had this huge grassy area that was all for us! 

Spencer loved sitting out and just pondering!

We spent most of our days here
just relaxing, hanging out together, and swimming.
but when we did get out...
we stopped at some fun little places.
these being...

{the Macadamia Nut plantation}

{this was on a little hike / garden tour we did}

{Visited a nice resort where there were dolpins.... my fav animal}


Visiting beaches

{this picture has NO FILTER. this is the real thing}

Then of course we had to go to church
and they gave us Lei's and everyone was so welcoming!

It happened to be Father's Day at church,
so the primary kids handed out these cute little
homemade candy bars.
{adorable}

We have a tradition to go to Hawaii
as a family every 2-3 years.
This time we wanted to mix things up.
we usually stay at a time share resort
but we wanted to try this house thing.
it was very different that a resort, but i can say
i think i liked it better
we didnt have any neighbors so it was so private
we had a pool / hot tub area
and time to spend just enjoying each others company.
it was heavenly......
just like this next pic

{No Filter}

Thank you mommy and daddy
for treating us to such amazing adventures.
showing us the world,
and doing it with family.
doesnt get much better than that!
