End of Maui and Oahu

The last day of our stay in Maui we went on a snorkeling tour.  Andrew was all excited and he will tell you all the fish that he saw.  I think the highlight for him was swimming with an eel. He missed seeing the octopus, which he was a little bummed about, but he got to swim with all kinds of fish. I was a trooper and got in the water and was, uh, blessed to see some fish.  After some big black fish got close I got back in the boat. 


After snorkeling at a close island, we went back towards Maui and swam with the sea turtles again.  That was fun.  I really like the sea turtles.  Andrew kept working on his diving and got down to probably 15-20 feet.  He was a snorkel/diving machine.  It was great. 

Here is the boat we went out on with about 40 other people.  They served breakfast and hot chocolate which was nice, since the tour started at 6:30.


 This is just a hilarious picture.  The resort obviously wanted to avoid law suits since it posts every possible bad thing that can happen to you at the beach.  The sad thing is we saw signs with even more warnings.

While packing in Maui we put the camera in our garment bag and promptly forgot where we put it, so we don't have any pictures of Oahu.  lol Andrew and I stayed at Bellows Air Field and had a great time laying on the beach.  Really pictures would be pretty boring...as we just chilled on the beach for 3 days.  Good times though.  We boogie boarded and read books.  Andrew snorkeled some more and ran into a sea turtle.  It was so great to just chill.

We also got to hang out with Andrew's brother and sister in law, David and Amber. Amber was like 12 months pregnant so no roller coasters for us, but we went out for a fun breakfast and also had a very memorable day of three games of Settlers of Catan.  Good times. 

Leaving Hawaii was kind of a bummer, but it was great to go and get away from regular life for a while.  I'm excited we're finally in Alexandria now and can kind of move on with regular life and start enjoying our new life together.

  2. In London they have similar signs {mind the gap, be careful when getting on the escalator, etc} and then underneath the warning/picture, it had "injuries last year: #" and some had surprisingly high numbers.

    Pretty funny. Sounds like you had an awesome honeymoon!
