We've been married for almost 3 months now. TIME IS FLYING!!!!! And after moving to Washington, getting new jobs, and helping out the fam, I have finally sat down to do a new post! The following is round one of our week long honeymoon adventure in Dennis' old stomping grounds of Oahu, Hawaii. And what an adventure it was. We decided we weren't going to spend a lot of money while there and we stayed true to our word. The first day, we headed to Waikiki so we could pick up some groceries at Target with the many gift cards we received. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cereal and granola bars were our best friends as we only went out to eat for one meal a day. And since Dennis went to school in Hawaii, we spent a week stomping through the island, having the most awesome adventures, without spending a dime. Oh how we love you dear Hawaii. As you can see, we had a blast! I wouldn't have done it any other way.
This place is said to be a temple where they made human sacrifices. Creepily interesting! People still leave offerings to the gods there. Hence the decorated tree and the rocks wrapped in leaves. While hiking around, Dennis kept throwing rocks into the bush to freak me out. He was not successful. I wish you better luck next time we visit a sacrificial temple dearest Dennis! :)
Oh.My.Word. Have you seen cooler trees?! I have not. PLUS, Dennis and I went through a serious Lost phase, so we were very excited to find these Lost-esque trees. In fact, after talking to some friends, we're pretty sure they filmed part of the show here. Don't worry, there will be more Lost locations coming soon!
The view of Waimea Bay from the peak of the Pupukea Ruins. Loved it.
For those of you who have eaten Acai Bowls at Kava Roots, you will understand our obsession. This little $7 concoction was a little piece of heaven. Yes, we splurged and spent $14 on breakfast. They were BY FAR the best acai bowls we had. Thank you Kava Roots. We hope to visit you again soon.
Round 2 of Honeymoon adventures should be up soon!
