We were planning a getaway for spring break to St. George or even Moab this year, but we ended up in Hawaii! I think the way our trip came about was one of those “meant to be” experiences as everything came together so perfectly.
We did the normal tourist things- several trips to the beach, the Dole Plantation, we ate shaved ice and yummy shrimp from a food truck, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center (my favorite), and Pearl Harbor (although the weather wasn’t cooperating and we didn’t get to see the Arizona).
We also did a few non-touristy things- we went to the La’ie LDS Temple and Clint was able to baptize Caitlin. We also went to church at the Makiki ward in the historic Tabernacle.
It was fun to get away for an extended weekend and to have a taste of Hawaii. We were also 2,645 miles closer to Elder Paulson.
