Always Hawaii

We have been lovers of Hawaii ever since the first time we visited way back in 1977.  We recently returned from a trip with several of our children and I wanted to share some of our pictures.  All of these pictures are from our hike of the Diamond Head Crater on the island of Oahu.  We have never hiked the crater before so it was a new experience for us.  It was a little bit hard, but if you pace yourself, you can make it! And the view makes it totally worth the effort!


This is a panoramic view from the top, from one side of the volcano to the other


this is the right side of the volcano...


...and this is the left side.  You can see the parking lot and part of the trail we came up.


this is a view of Waikiki


proof that we made it!

I would recommend this hike to anyone visiting Oahu.

Some pictures from one of our trips to Hawaii... These pictures were taken by my husband.  He has set the example for our children and they all seem to be interested in photography.  I know that a lot of people love to visit Oahu and Maui, but our favorite Island is Kauai.  But we usually visit the North Shore, where things are a little more quiet and it still has that "Island feel".  Enjoy the pictures!
