Oahu!

Here we are at the PCC. I went to BYU-Hawaii for a couple of years. The show is done by students paying for their college education. The night show is the best part. My Hale (dorm) was right behind the stage and I used to do my homework/fall asleep to the music of the night show. They did such a great job. I feel so lucky to have gone to school at such an amazing place and to now have returned for a visit. Maybe I can talk Ben into do some sort of Summer sabbatical there in a couple of years....

It was very very windy at Pali Look Out. Ben is wearing a tie if you can't tell!

This is a great place to stop and take a look. No hiking involved. The view so beautiful but the coolest part is the wind.

We were so excited to see Hawaii, we even took pictures out the window in our airplane!

We stayed with jon and jodi in Waikiki for a couple of days. They had the best accommodations! Our bed was on the Lanai of their 19th story apartment. Then they took us to their favorite Korean BBQ for dinner. You get to cook your own meat over the grill in the middle of the table. So good!

Here is the view we woke to every morning. If you look close, you can see a faint rainbow!

AND to every one's disgust ben continued to work through our vacation. (there was a big deadline he was aiming for-he made it... barley)
