Hawaii

We were so lucky this year to be able to spend part of our winter break in Hawaii. Fortunately, Lanny was able to publish and present an article in the Hawaii International Conference of Arts and Humanities located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on the island of Oahu. Here are some of the photos:


This is a view of the sunset from our hotel in Waikiki.

Our hotel had many animal habitats, including these flamingos.

This is Laie point. Lanny lived just down the street when he was a little boy.


This is a view of Sunset Beach on the North Shore.


There was such a special reverence here at the Pearl Harbor Memorial.



Diamond Head Crater

'Ali'i Tower-where we stayed.



This was the view from our hotel room balcony.


Hanauma Bay-we had a blast snorkeling here!


This is the beach from the movie, "From Here to Eternity."


Lanny called this beach "Temple Beach," because of its proximity to the LDS Temple.
The next two pictures are from a serene lookout spot.

Laie Point

Lanny had to try the pineapple ice cream at the Dole Plantation.

This anchor weighed over 16,000 lbs.


We were hoping this was Jack Johnson.

Gorgeous! You and Hawaii! How beautiful. I want to go there someday. And on your hard days, remember these good ones :)

Oh how fun! I never asked how Lanny's presentation went. I assume he survived and did well.
What a beautiful place.

You and your husband are so cute! Your trip looks like so much fun! I cannot wait until I get to go to Hawaii someday, that's assuming that I will! :)
