Honolulu, Hawaii

Having friends in far places is such a treat. Getting to visit friends in Hawaii was such a dream! We were able to see such wonderful places with stunning views, while seeing the culture of the island!

Byodo-In Temple

Kalanianaole Beach

Hale’iwa Beach Park

Maili Pillbox Trail - this was such a fun hike up the mountain, moderate with the climb up, but if I can do it.. you can do it! Bring water and a snack to enjoy the view & don’t forget to clean up after yourself! We parked right at the entrance of the trail on the road.

Tidepools at Makapu’u - BEAUTIFULLY STUNNING!! be careful of the waves as they can pull people out, proceed with caution during high tide!! The hike down the rocks was pretty steep, but
