So TG and I were able to go to Hawaii with my parents and my little sister Alisa in March. We flew in on a Thursday and stayed in Waikiki. We stayed in Waikiki for three days and then went to Laie and stayed with TG's parents for three days. We went to Hanauma Bay on Friday. Alisa, Mom, and I just swam in the bay while TG and my Dad went snorkeling. The next day we went to the Pearl Harbor Monument. TG and I have never had a chance to go to Pearl Harbor on our previous visits to Hawaii, so we were determined to go see it. It was extremely crowded and we had to wait for over an hour for a tour, but it was worth the wait. The USS Arizona Memorial was beautiful and very peaceful. You are not aloud to speak once you enter the memorial. We were glad we had an opportunity to visit Pearl Harbor. On Sunday we went to the North Shore to stay with TG's family. TG's parents and little sister moved to Hawaii a couple years ago because his dad got a job as a professor at BYU-Hawaii. They love living there and we love visiting them. After church we walked on the temple grounds and took pictures. The Laie Temple is by far one of my favorite temples. The grounds are so beautiful. The next day we went to the beach and the Polynesian Cultural Center. I've been there once before, but it was still fun going with my family because my dad and sister have never been. The night show was our favorite part of the PCC. The dancers were incredible. TG's parents were such great hosts while we stayed with them. His mom cooked us wonderful meals every day, even though we insisted that she didn't. TG has such amazing parents who would do anything for anyone. They are constantly putting their children before themselves. I am truly blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. After six days of bliss we had to come home to the freezing temperatures of Utah. I am so glad we were able to have my mom, dad, and sister come with us to Hawaii. We had such a blast.
