aloha!

well, i'm back from oahu, so here are some pictures. oahu is not my favorite island (so far)...it's way too populated! seriously people everywhere, but it was still nice to go and see what it was like.

mimes are cool!





awesome looking tree!










































i thought this was a neat looking fountain






































see what i mean? there was no room even to go to the beach. i've heard that the north shore is supposed to be better, but we were a Waikiki

















another cool tree! it has been there since the hotel behind it was built in 1901! how awesome is that?
















my mom and i













































awww, katie sleeping













a picture from inside the Moana Surfrider (the hotel that was built in 1901)













you may have to click on it to see it better, but this is what Waikiki beach used to look like! it's crazy how much has changed and how many high-rises there are now.















the porch of the Moana...i love the rocking chairs!





















stay tuned for more pictures, including my hike up Diamond Head and visit to Pearl Harbor! :)
