35th Anniversary...Hawaiian Style #1

We are home once again, but the memory of this trip will be with us for a long, long while. We spent our 35th anniversary in Hawaii, in Waikiki. Other people really like some of the other Islands, but this is our favorite place. (so far.) I think it is becaiuse I am living in rural-land, and am a city-girl at heart, and we have spent so much time here, it is familiar to both of us.

We took a short hike up to a beautiful waterfall, then we even swam in the 'pond' and sat under the waterfall! This was a first for me!

If you look closely you can see us under the spray!

Now, I wonder why...when we rent convertibles..which we love, Jerry always looks like this...
but I look like this????

Stiil we enjoy them, and I have told Jerry is ever I leave snowy-land, I want one!!

On our 1st morning we watched the King Kamahmaha Parade..quite different than our parades here, I would guess only the Rose parade has more flowers. This is the Princess of Oahu.

We did another thing we had never done before...we rode the horses! For me it was good...very calm, well-trained trail horses. They gave us instructions on how to kick, and steer, but I think they are somewhat like the Autopia at Disneyland...they would just plod along and retun home without any help from the rider!

Yep...thant's me! Only the 3rd time in my whole life I have been on a horse. It was fun.
