My maternity leave was winding down, winter was in full swing, and the warmth of the south was calling our name. We had a few destinations on our short list but ultimately ended up in Oahu, Hawaii. Oahu is zika free, family friendly and the beaches are second to none. Our 10 month old took a little time to warm up to the feeling of the sand but we couldn't keep her out of the warm ocean water. Between the dole whip, malasadas, shave ice and haupia pie I'm surprised we still fit into our clothes on departure. If you're interested in trying ALL. THE. TREATS. (and who isn't) check out our post on 6 cheap eats (and treats) you have to try!
We typically don’t spend our entire vacation in one location but after a 10 hour flight to get there, and with only 10 days of vacation, we decided to maximize our R&R and explore all the island had to offer. It turned out to be a great decision, there was no shortage of things to see and do, most of which was inexpensive or free don't believe me? Check out our post on 5 free (or almost free) things to do - for amazing experiences that are under 10 dollars!)
Check out our 10 day trip summary to see all the fun things we did. The list is not exhaustive - we were surprised to find that there was way more than you could possibly pack into 10 days!
