My brother in-law Patrick is getting married in a few weeks. He and Whitney are headed to Hawaii for their honeymoon, which got me thinking about a trip I took to Hawaii for Christmas in 2004 with my mom and sister. Thought I'd share some photos from our trip to help build the excitement! Can't wait for the wedding, and for the photos that Pat and Whitney take from Hawaii.

 |
| Another shot of the blowhole, this was out first day in Hawaii (I think). We got in the car and drove down the highway along the ocean and saw this blowhole from the road, so we parked the car and walked down to check it out. If I'm honest, we kind of thought it was a whale at first because we really couldn't see exactly where it was coming from. |

| The water going back into the ocean |
 |
| These next few are from the top of Haleakala, it's an active volcano. For a small fee a tour company will drive you to top. They'll pick you up at your hotel at 3am, you get to the summit a little before dawn and then you get to watch the sun rise over the pacific ocean from the top of a 10,000 ft peak. |

| This was a botanical garden, they actually filmed the opening scene to Jurassic Park right here. |
