Hawaii Part 1

In January, in the spur of the moment, Darren and I booked a trip to HAWAII!  It was just a fun little getaway for us, for no reason at all.  Other than...to go to Hawaii.  We were there for 4 days.  Some think that's short, but I think it's perfect.  (I'm a major home body...)

I'm breaking this vacation into parts.  There's a lot of pictures...  We got there late afternoon, had some dinner, and crashed (we were ready for bed so early!  We're like an old couple, no kidding.  We're not really night life people..)

Thursday, we went para sailing!

This was my favorite thing of the trip

We were pretty high up there!

So much fun!

After para sailing, we took a drive up the coast and snapped some pictures.

(they gave us a Prius to drive around...Darren was thrilled... haha)

We also spent a little time on a beach in a little town on the west coast.

That night, we had dinner at the best place!  It's called Shorebird.  There's a salad buffet with a LOT more than salad, you pick your meat, then YOU grill it!  They've got these big grills with some seasoning and "grill masters" to help you if you need.  Darren loved being able to cook our steaks.  Also, this place is ON the beach.  And you have a perfect view of sunset.  Basically...we ate here 2 out of the 4 nights we were there haha...

That was totally our view

Friday was Skydiving day.  That's right, Darren jumped out of an airplane!  Crazy boy.

Darren and Manny ready to load up!

Does he look nervous?

So nuts...That's not Darren, that's the girl before him.  Such a crazy view!

Here he goes!

His view of the North Shore

He did it!

Stay tuned...
