A few months back, Janae found some great tickets to Oahu that we could buy with the frequent flyer miles that we've been sitting on for a while now. We jumped at the chance to give ourselves a graduation present, and we've spent the last few months counting down the days to the end of the semester and our trip to Hawaii. So a few days after graduation Ainslie headed out to spend the time with her grandmas, grandpas, and a few aunts and uncles, and we headed out to an island paradise.
After she found the plane tickets, Janae also tracked down a fantastic place for us to stay, just a few steps away from the beach in Kailua and Lanikai (above). The location was perfect, and the people we rented from were very nice. We'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a place to stay without the Waikiki traffic.
We expected to find some beautiful beaches in Hawaii, but we weren't prepared for how amazing the mountains would be.
And the beaches definitely did not disappoint. We loved to sit and watch the beautiful waves.
And it was fun to watch some crazy surfers take on the big waves of the North Shore.
We also liked watching the sea turtles and other wildlife that call the island home.
We ate some great food. 
And made some fun friends.
In short, there's lots to do in Hawaii, and we had a wonderful time.
