Over winter break, Aaron and I went on a much-needed vacation to Hawaii. Well, for me it was a vacation but for Aaron it was a work trip. We spent the first half of the trip on the big island in Hilo and then hopped over to Oahu for the second half. I’m usually a planner, but since I didn’t know Aaron’s work schedule I was just along for the ride! We kept it casual with activities like lounging at the beach (duh), going to the farmers market, seeing waterfalls, and visiting the USS Arizona memorial. One of our highlights was seeing the active volcano on the big island at night. And then of course there’s the food! Aaron and I love trying new restaurants. My favorite was actually an Italian restaurant we ate at in Waikiki—I’ve been dreaming about that uni pasta. Hawaii is one of our favorite places, and we can’t wait to go back!
