A Trip to Hawaii with Stampin' Up! - True Paradise


Here are some pictures from our trip to Hawaii!!

We had such an amazing time!!

This was an all-expenses paid trip, provided by Stampin' Up!.  A demonstrator is rewarded with this Grand Vacation based on her sales and leadership with her group.  A lot of hard work goes into earning these trips, but it's so much fun, too!!  Who doesn't love to stamp, right??

Thank you so much to all of my incredible customers and amazing Inkspired Stampers family for your support of my Stampin' Up! business.  I could not have earned this trip without each and every one of you!!  I have been blessed with a wonderful business, and, more importantly, many wonderful friendships!

Now, on to the trip....

We spent our first morning at the Polynesian Cultural Center..... it was absolutely gorgeous!!






my kids, Lilly and Cade (Cade represented the Maize and Blue very well!)




Later that day, we spent some time relaxing at the pool - this was the view from my lounge chair...



a view of the pool area from just inside the hotel lobby...




The following morning we took a hike on Diamond Head - these are some of the views from the top of the mountain....





That night, we explored the shops at Waikiki and had a great seafood dinner (well, I did! - the kids, not so much!).



The following day, we rented a car and explored the island of Oahu - take a look at what we found....






Lunch......


The kids got hot in the car......


We spent a lot of time at the beack in Waikiki the next day - it was such a beautiful beach!
I could have walked along the beach all day long.....






We had the best fish tacos at this oceanside cafe.....


I loved the architecture on this hotel - reminds me of the south (or maybe it's the rocking chairs that remind me of the south...)!


This was our view from the balcony - the pool and the ocean - ahhhhh.....




We spent our final night at a BBQ on the USS Missouri Battleship - what an experience this was.....




Stampin' Up! even made cute table decorations, of course!








the view from the walkway onto the ship...  that's the USS Arizona Memorial in the distance....



I hope you enjoyed this quick peek into our trip!!

And, thank you so much to Stampin' Up! for making the trip such a memorable experience for us all!  The excursions, pillow gifts and time spent with family and friends was amazing!!
