Hawaii was amazing. 

Pea & Aaron's wedding was a perfect reason to go visit the exotic state during the xmas and new years holidays.

it was a little bit of a bummer that i didn't end up snorkeling, surfing, hiking Diamond Head, and seeing turtles.. the unpredictable weather slammed these plans.

i can't wait to go back.

i love you, Hawaii!
