Hawaii!

Leisha and I decided to take a trip to Hawaii for our 5th aniversary. We stayed at the JW Marriott at the Ko Olina resort on the west side of Oahu. It was nice and secluded.

Complete with hammerhead sharks by the lobby!

Day 1

Our first day we decided to head up to the north shore and visit Laie. We stopped by the Temple and then the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Canoe parade at the PCC.

Leisha enjoying a pina colada smoothie at our Luau before the night show.

Day 2 (part 1)

No trip to Oahu is complete without walking on Waikiki Beach!

and wandering past the Royal Hawaiian and Sheriton Hotels...

and Hanauma Bay

Day 2 (part 2)

We also visited the Byodo-in Temple. It is a Japanese temple at the back of a cemetery.

It was also pouring rain...

But Leisha was smart enough to save the free poncho from the PCC.

Day 2 (part 3)

The temple was so cool I had to put up some more pictures...

Day 3 (part 1)

A trip to Pearl Harbor was also a required visit.

So here are a couple/lot of clips of the play. I only could do a couple of seconds on each one. Hope you enjoy! I love watching Mom's body language when she is talking...Wonderful simply wonderful darling!!

Great job Mom! You played the Baroness exceedingly well! Can't wait for next year!!!!
