Spring Break in Hawaii!

Oh my gosh, it's been a while. Sorry about that. Life has been super busy and I've been trying to stay on top of my homework. I figured I should probably do a post about how much fun Hawaii was. Seriously you guys, can I move there? The coldest it ever gets is 75 degrees fahrenheit! That sounds amazing compared to North Dakota, where the coldest it can get is like -75. And everything is beautiful in Hawaii. Ugh, I'm still day dreaming about it.

So we spent three days on Oahu and four days on Hawaii. In Oahu we stayed on this beautiful resort. The beach was only a minute away and there was so much to do! Of course my sister and I got burnt on the first day (#NDwhitegirlproblems), so we had to avoid the sun for like three days. We walked around the resort and just hung out in the room. One of my best friends was also in Hawaii with her family so I hung out with her. I bought some souvenirs for myself and my friends. I had to buy 100% Kona coffee because it is so good! If I could drink Kona coffee all the time I would. And I bought chocolate covered macadamia nuts. Those didn't last very long. We also went to Pearl Harbor and on a tour of the city of Honolulu.

This is a picture of my sister and I with the statue of one of the kings. Thankfully you can't tell how badly sunburnt we were!

When we went to Hawaii, we went to the World Botanical Gardens. Everything there is lush. There are plants from all over the world, even cacti! We hiked about three or four miles throughout the area. When you think about Hawaii, you think about all these beautiful flowers and all kinds of plants. If you ever go to Hawaii I definitely recommend you go to the World Botanical Gardens. Be cautious on the road that goes through the middle of the island, it can get kind of rough. 

This was my favorite flower throughout the whole Botanical Gardens. It's a little puff ball!

It is mandatory to go to a luau in Hawaii and if you don't you seriously miss out! The luau we went to was amazing. The food was delicious and the entertainment was better than I ever expected. There were so many dancers and different types of dances. The luau was one of the best parts of the trip in my opinion.

This was the opening of the luau. It was a show about the kings and queens of the island of Hawaii. 

Hawaii was so much fun and I hope my family and I go back soon. Next time I will learn how to surf and paddle board. Maybe I'll add swimming with dolphins and turtles to my list. Sorry it took me so long to make a new post, I'll try harder to be more consistent in my writing. Have a good one people! =)
