Hawaii

For our 10-year anniversary, I chose to take Rhonda to Hawaii. We stayed at the Marriott resort (gotta love those points programs!) on Oahu. It was a great location, as it was way off the beaten path, with private lagoons, incredible sunsets, and great walking trails along the ocean. We did a day trip to the North Shore where all the major league surfers show off their stuff. That day, the waves were over 10' and warning conditions were out due to the strong surf.

We went scuba diving several times as well. However, this was our least favorite location for scuba. The waters were rough, and the islands are relatively young, so the coral is not as magnificant as in the Carribean. The rest of the time was pretty much just laying on the beach and enjoying our time together.

It was impossible to take for granted the beauty that God gives us.

The panoromic view from on top of Diamond Head was incredible,
although the hundreds of stairs was a challenge...
but well worth it!
