Family Get Together in Hawaii

This summer our extended family took a vacation to Oahu, Hawaii. We stayed in two rental homes on the North Shore of Oahu. Not only did we take in the beauty of the Hawaiian beaches, we also experienced multiple encounters with wildlife in their natural environment.

In one great day for sightseeing, we saw not only a Hawaiian Monk Seal napping on our beach, but also large sea turtles grazing on seaweed at the ocean’s edge. Beautiful rainbows and amazing sunsets were taken in daily. With a back drop of the blue waters near Waikiki beach, the view from the top of Diamond Head was breathtaking. We had a great family vacation and hopefully the pictures help capture the beauty that Oahu offers.
