Day One....

Good Morning everyone! Yesterday was filled with lots of scenery and laughs. We got up at about 6:00 and watched the sun come up together. Hawaii truly is the island for lovers, I feel closer than ever to Shea. Being able to experience all of this with the love of my life, is something I will never forget.

After a little breakfast, we decided we were going to go to Lahaina and go walk down Front St. As we were leaving, Shea spotted a rather large spider hanging out right outside the front door. He says it's a Wolf spider, but I have to say it's the biggest Wolf spider I have ever seen.

We decided to name him Wold the Wolf spider, in honor of our friend back in Boise, who is VERY scared of them.

Lahaina was really neat. A huge tourist trap, but fun to see all the different shops and people. One of the main reasons Shea wanted to go here, is to see the tree that covers a whole city block. It was amazing to see, check out the video, very cool!









After walking around for a couple of hours, our feet were begging for some soft beach sand. We headed back to home base, gathered up all of our stuff and headed down to the beach. The sound of the waves crashing is the most hypnotic sound. The water was a bit brisk when first getting in, but you get used to is really quick. We stayed at the Beach almost until it was dark outside. Holding one anothers hands (More I wanted Shea to hold mine, due to the fear of being sucked out to sea.) lol. We played in the waves for hours laughing, playing, and building memories.

The weather today seems to be a little better than yesterday. It rained for a good 4-5 hours in the morning before breaking to sunshine in the afternoon. We have decided to only keep our one scheduled event, Zip Line, and the rest of the vacation just do whatever we want. Not having the pressure to get here at this time or do this by this time, makes this vacation so much more relaxing. I'm thinking more beach time is in store for today, or maybe a hike. Below are a few other pictures. Have a great day everyone and I will update more tomorrow! We love you all!!!
