hawaii photo diary- part 2

You guys, it’s been 11 days since Maui! Not so long but let me tell you the island feels like a distant memory. Matthew and I were just talking about how much we missed it, saying, “we gotta go back!” {LOST reference anyone?} Sigh no matter how long you visit for, it never seems like enough time. Maybe that’s why whenever we’re in Hawaii we talk about moving there. Matthew would go in a heartbeat if he could get a job. He’s such an island boy, as you’ll see in the photo of him trying to knock a coconut out of a tree with a rock. I do love Hawaii, Maui in particular, and while I fantasize about living there I also wonder how my feelings toward the island would change. Would it become just home and no longer paradise? Would I miss the seasons? Would I get jaded by sunshine year round  and a deeper skin color? It sounds nice but I guess for now Hawaii will just have to be our favorite spot to vacation! I’m totally fine with that as long as we can take these trips a little more often.

found St. Joseph’s, a 150 year old church, on our drive around the island!

Our road got blocked by a heard of cattle! We got out of our car to talk to one of the handlers and took some snaps of these cute animals. Matthew had never been so close to cows before so he especially loved it!

We stopped at Coconut Glen’s for their coconut milk ice cream! I loved the Coffee Toffee Ice Cream the best!

Isn’t it cute that they serve them in coconut shells?

There were so many gorgeous waterfalls on the way to Hana!
