<-- My house!
Aloha. It had been FIVE(5)!!! Years since I'd been back to Hawaii, a place I used to ache for every minute of every day. I'm sad to say that I had lost a little bit of that ache but it has returned thanks to this trip. Every memory I had came flooding back as we drove down Kam Highway, through Haliewa, walked around Foodland, the Temple, PCC, Hukilau beach, the PCC, ate fresh pineapple, mango, coconut syrup, and Ted's Bakery.
We did spend time with my parents (specifically the breakfast buffet at Turtle Bay EVERY morning) but those pictures are on my mom's camera...
Sarah served her mission in New Zealand so she had a blast going through the Aotearoa village at the PCC, describing the culture and history and talking to the workers who were all from New Zealand. They even knew some of the same people! One of the elders from her mission, Siti, is from Fiji and is attending BYUH, showed us around a little and then we got to watch him in the night show. He was a star in the part about Fiji. The night show has been redone since I was there and it was SO GOOD.
Since it was Sarah's first time to Hawaii, she had to visit Pearl Harbor. It's always a humbling, solemn experience.
I can't describe my love for this place. There aren't words. Please just go there and bring a friend with you.
