I returned from a much needed vacation with my husband to the Big Island of Hawaii. It was a fabulous and relaxing time, just what we both needed! Most of you know I work full time as an RN and am also quite busy with my photography business on top of that, so a certain amount of stress is constant (as most of you can relate to). It is amazing though how rejuvenated I feel when I go away for a week and have zero stress, it really is such a fantastic way of being forced to truly relax and enjoy the beauty this world has to offer. I really believe that people should take at least one vacation a year. It gives you something to look forward to and good chance to see some beautiful places in the world. My husband and I love Hawaii so much! It will always have a special place in our hearts because two years ago we were married in Maui. This year is our third year in a row returning and our amazement at how fabulous and beautiful Hawaii is hasn’t wavered. The natural beauty that exists in Hawaii is spectacular! The fresh plumeria scented air fills you with energy and happiness. Stumbling across a one hundred year old sea turtle on the beach blows your mind! We are now on a quest to figure out how we can go twice a year instead of just once.
We chose the Big Island this year to try another Island. I also really liked the idea of seeing the lush rain forest on one side of the Island and the dry desert on the other. We drove around the entire Island in one day (over seven hours of driving) and it was amazing the different climate zones the Big Island has! Unfortunately we were unable to see the volcano due to the weather, but seeing it in the future gives us a good excuse to return to the Big Island!
Here are several shots from our trip to Hawaii, I hope you enjoy them!
