*~HONEYMOONIN~*

Adam and I were spoiled enough to go on TWO Honeymoons after our big day!  Our first one was to Las Vegas, we stayed at the Grand America the night of our wedding and then took off for Las Vegas the next morning.  I was a dummy and forgot a camera for that whole trip but I took some pictures with my phone.  I'll post them if I can figure out how to get them on here :)  Our stay at the Grand America was perfect!  My brother, Landon, works there and he hooked us up with an awesome room.  Not only that but he set it up for us with some rose pedals and chocolate-covered strawberries (my favorite)  It was SO romantic and we we had such a good time...

That next morning, we woke up early and caught a flight to Las Vegas!  We were there for just the weekend but it was such a fun, short, honeymoon.  We stayed at the Trump, which was the most amazing hotel we have ever stayed at, we were completely spoiled all weekend... Room Service, Valet, People waiting on us poolside.. My heaven :)  We were able to do some shopping while we were there, relax by the pool, play some black Jack, eat at buffets, and we went to a show while we were there.  We saw "Beatles Love"  It was such a great show.. Adam had a blast and we loved watching all of the talented acrobats and we LOVE Beatles music so it was all in all a fantastic show!!!  We had a really good time in Las Vegas for our first Honeymoon and looked forward to our SECOND Honeymoon a couple months later which was to...

**HAWAII**
We left in October and we were in Hawaii for 10 days... It could not have been more perfect!  Adam had never been to Hawaii and I was so excited to show him around!!  My wondeful brother, KC, helped plan our trip so that we could make the most of it.  Here are some pictures of everything that we did... Enjoy!
 The first few nights was in Oahu.  We loved walking Waikiki at night and found some great restaurants!

                            First night at Waikiki... We were so white!

   The Oahu Temple.  We saw BYU Hawaii and visited the temple..
   The PCC.. We went on a boat tour to all of the different "islands"
                                   At the Polynesian Cultural Center
                          Adam learning how to Hula dance.. What a good sport :)
                       Us with the Coconut guy.. We loved him!
       Part of the PCC Parade.  Tonga was one of my favorites!
    We decided we wanted to eat where the locals eat... Found a great sushi place called Genki Sushi!
     We loved it and can not stop thinking about it to this day.... Mmmmmm..... I hope we can go back!
    Hanauma Bay! What a fun day to lay out and go snorkeling!!!

       In our snorkeling gear ready to hit the Bay!
            It was kind of a walk to get there so of course we decided to stop and take some pics :)
You can't go to North Shore without stopping for a Matsumoto Shaved Ice!
 We stopped at the Dole Plantation on the way back too... Pretty much everything was closed but we got some yummy treats!

 We spent the last week in Maui! My favorite! It was so beautiful and we had great weather the whole time!
                                                Beach Bums :)
 At our resort.. This pic does not do it justice.  What an amazing resort!  7 different pools to hop and so many other fun things!! Not to mention the room was incredible!!!

 This thing went 600 Ft above the ocean... What a rush! We were a little scared at first but loved it and it was totally worth it!
                                          At a Luau... Yummy!

We were here! 

Thanks to my sweet, fun husband for making our Honeymoon such a fun trip! And a BIG thanks to my brother who made it all possible.  He even flew to Maui to meet us and get us checked in to our sweet hotel with his discount! Who does that??? Thanks KC!  We are so lucky to have such travel experts in our family who know how to plan and get the most out of all of our vacations!!! Best 10 days EVER!
