So Eric and I had a long hard talk about what to do for our 2 year anniversary and it came down to Yellowstone National Park or Hawaii. These are both two places that we wanted to visit but need I say less Hawaii was the Winner! We thought long and hard (well not that hard) about the process and decided that now was the best time to travel to Hawaii! It had been a rough year and with all that happened we figured now was the time to travel before we had children in our lives! We are so blessed and fortunate to have been able to visit Hawaii at this point in our lives.
So we booked our flight and stay back in March with our travel agent and began counting down the days till departure. In the meantime we also convinced my parents to join us!! They had never been to Hawaii either so it was a new experience for all of us!
July 21, 2011 at 03:30am (yes very early flight!!!) we loaded up our things and headed to the DFW airport.
-Our first stop Honolulu, Oahu!

| PEARL HARBOR |
 |
| USS BOWFIN SUBMARINE |
 |
| (Now I know why you have to be so fit and slender to get around in a submarine..It's so narrow inside) |
 |
| Mom and Dad..So happy they came! |
 |
| A visit to the USS Arizona Memorial is a solemn and sobering experience. You are literally standing over a grave site where 1177 men lost their lives on December 7, 1941. It is a beautiful memorial |
 |
| This is part of the USS Arizona, fuel and oil still leak out to this day! |
 |
| In Honor of all the Men and Women who lost their lives! |
