Hawaiian Honeymoon

 {hawaii}
After their wedding night at the Grand America,
the lovebirds left for a honeymoon on Maui.
 They stayed at the Royal Lahaina on Ka'anapali Beach,
enjoyed restaurants with ocean views,
snorkeled in Maalaea Harbor,
went on a boat ride to Wailea to see sea turtles,
shopped at the Whaler's Village,
drove the island to Big Beach,
celebrated Hawaiian culture at a beach luau,
relaxed and read on the beach,
and ate banana pineapple pancakes with coconut syrup for breakfast.

Today they returned,
shared the details of their Hawaiian adventure with us,
and opened their gifts.
We are overwhelmed by the generosity of family and friends.
Madison was excited to show us her new cute tee,
while Harrison was pretty happy with his tropical pancake mixes and syrup.
 
Here's to a wonderful life together!
