I know TLC taught us not to go chasing waterfalls... But we just couldn't resist!

Whenever I'm in Hawaii, I'm usually with one of my best buds, Blaise. This time around, he didn't make it out to the islands with us and I've been super bummed about it. Luckily for us we were able to meet up with his dad, Uncle Benny, and Auntie Gina.

I absolutely love hanging out with them and catching up. They're so much fun to hang out with and really great company. They always take us to the best spots to eat and it was more of the same today.

We headed over to Genki sushi and did some SERIOUS work. Genki is pretty fun and the conveyor-belt-style service is fun and entertaining. I'm actually surprised there's not a lot of sushi joints like this on the mainland.

Afterwards, we headed to Frost City for some dessert. A couple hours and a ton of laughs/conversations later, we took this picture and headed back home. I'm already looking forward to seeing them again and hopefully the next time is with Blaise.

XxApril 11, 2013 is the day we lost my grandfather. He was a loving yet grumpy old soul, whom we all loved dearly. And today we visited our Suzuki side of the family at the graveyard

Missing him everyday and thankful for all the moments and memories I have had. 

E and I also went on our own adventure to the Sea Cliffs. My legs are gonna be really sore tomorrow!

Day 4

So today marks the official anniversary of our grandfather's passing. So this morning we met my mom and Uncle Donny at the temple and then visited Grandma at the cemetery, after we cleaned the family headstone.

After we headed east to Sandys, the sand was so soft and the water was beautiful! 

We soaked up a lot of sun and then decided to head out and explore more. 

Took some touristy pictures at the lookout 

And then got to chill and watch the sunset. 

Doesn't feel like we did all that much, but man does the sun totally drain you. I'm loving this vacation, and I'm not sure I'm going to ever leave :)

Secret Beach

Today was our 3rd day in Hawaii and we headed over to "secret beach" in Ko'Olina. We hung out there basically ALL day, even with a super overcast day. We absolutely love this beach because it's super chill and secluded. We even got to swim with a bunch of turtles!

We're loving our trip so far and can't wait to adventure more tomorrow.

Koko Head

So the original plan was to hike to some waterfall this morning, but after we saw the traffic we would have to sit through we decided against it. My sister and her boyfriend are staying at his cousin's place, which is right by Koko Head. So we headed out at 7:30 this morning... It was a little crazy!

About half way up 

Made it to the top!
