Ben and I consider ourselves pretty lucky when it comes to vacations. We got invited to go to Hawaii with a few of our friends. Dave (Ben's Rugby buddy and long-time friend) works for Skywest and he gets buddy passes as one of the perks for working there.
So he and his wife (Dave & Jenny)
rounded up a group of people and we all flew over the Pacific Ocean to a little Island called Oahu. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, so it was like a dream come true. After we arrived and waited what felt like 5 hours for our rental vehicles, we were on our way to the condo. As we pulled up, we soon realized that we were going to be staying right on a beach, so we could hear the sounds of the ocean all the time! It was so cool! We were able to do many things including

Pearl Harbor
The Dole Pineapple Plantation
Learning how to crack coconuts
Attending the Laie temple
The Polynisian Cultural Center
(The New Zealand village)
Eating some crazy things!
(Ben's avacado burger, with half an avacado on it)
(McDonalds breakfast: spam, eggs, and rice)
and enjoying the blue water
Some other cool pictures
We had such a great time will all of our friends and really appreciate the McConnels for the invite. Thanks for the memories guys!

And yes, Buddy was okay the entire trip (despite Ben making you call me to make sure he was okay) and didn't miss you guys at all because Aunt Jenny is the best! I'm so jealous, Hawaii is one of my dream vacations as well...and it hasn't come true yet! Though, paradise would be best spent with a special someone, so maybe that's why I haven't gone yet! :D Your pictures are SOO pretty!!
