Hau’ula Loop

Hau’ula Loop

Hiking to Kahuku Point | Hiking the Hau’ula Loop Trail | Windward Oahu We set out one Saturday morning to find some obscure hikes and we completely lucked out. It’s not often we are all alone on a trail, especially on a weekend, and definitely not on a beautiful sunny day…but it happened! Days like these, it’s impossible not to… Read More

Koko Crater Botanical Garden

Koko Crater Botanical Garden

Exploring the Koko Crater Botanical Garden | May 2018 When Curtis was gone last March, there were several places that I visited with my family that I just knew I had to return to with him.

Olomana

Hiking Olomana | Kailua, Hawaii | May 2018 Olomana is one of the more popular hikes on Oahu, but not because it’s an easy hike for all to enjoy.

At Home on Oahu

At Home on Oahu

The first couple days that we spent on Oahu were a whirlwind of finding our way around, adjusting to Curtis’ new job, and making one of our biggest decisions as a couple: picking out our first home. We looked at so many places in our first 4 days here and learned so much about everything pertaining to home buying, all while adapting… Read More

Mount Tantalus

Mount Tantalus

We often joke that we are cursed here. Curtis’ days off are ALWAYS raining, and the mountain ridge is only unobstructed by clouds when he’s at work. Hopefully this pattern doesn’t continue into the “dry season” — we are anxious to do so many more ridge hikes! Not only that, but the rain also makes trails extremely muddy for the… Read More
