Hawaiian Vacation Part 8- Oahu (Our last day)

Our vacation has finally come to an end. Today was our last day in this beautiful state! I love it here, however, if I had to live here, I would choose to live on the Big Island. It is much quieter and not quite as touristy!

Today we had our big time plane ride where we tour the island from a Cessna. So everyone really enjoyed it! We got to see all the beauty Oahu has to over from 1500 ft up in the air! It was really cool! Mom loved it and so did TJ. I on the other hand got sick! Turns out me and tiny planes are not friends!! I had horrible motion sickness! I think if I could have taken some Dramamine before we started I would have been better off. Poor TJ has claw marks in his hand from where I was doing everything I could not to hurl! It was still really pretty though. Even though I could only look out the side of the plane that had land and not the other with the water. Ridiculous!



How cute is my mom?











I was so sick in this picture! LOL!


After the plane ride around the island we headed up to North Shore. On our way we stopped at the Dole Plantation! It was really cool! We had pineapple ice cream and walked around a bit.Once we got to the North Shore We spent a few hours on the beach swimming. We then headed in to Haleiwa for some lunch. We found a little area with lots of food trucks so we thought we would try it. It was actually pretty good! Then last but not least mom and I had to get Shave Ice! It was pretty good I had some strange local flavors with ice cream. There were some weird beans we could put in them, but I tasted it and opted out. After the Shave Ice stop we headed back to the hotel to pack.










TJ is done! LOL!










Our vacation has come to an end and it has been an crazy fun adventure. TJ and I are talking about coming back for our 5th anniversary. I would like to renew our vows on the beach and have a very Hawaiian ceremony and embrace this part of his culture. I have no idea what is waiting for me at work. I turned my email off on my phone over a week ago now! For now, I will cherish these fun moments I have had with my family and enjoy my last few minutes before we get on our plane.

Aloha,
Leigha

Side Note:
We finally made it home!! We landed at DFW at 1:00am Monday morning and drove straight home! We got in about 5:45 am and we were exhausted! My poor mom had to be on another plane to Nashville at 1pm today for work! I don't know how that lady is going to do it! Elizabeth Taylor is spending the day at Bow Wow. We needed to sleep without her here! We are going to get her shortly and bring her cousin Molly home with us since mom is out of town for another week. I loved our trip and I am ready to go back if simply because the weather here sucks! Just sayin!

Hope you enjoyed the blog! I will get back to regularly posting now! And yeah I am still on Weight Watchers! I'll update you all soon with that progress!

See ya!
