When we decided to fly out of Honolulu instead of Maui, we were so excited because we thought we'd be able to hit the temple. We landed at 7am and flew out at 10:55pm, so we had ALL day to explore the island. We rented a car for the day and headed up North to check out BYU and the temple. But guess what? The Hawaii temple is closed for a year and a half for rennovations!! It was still fun to check out the grounds and visit the visititors centre though......does that attempt count as a trip to the temple??:)

These are everywhere on Maui, but this hibiscus was on the temple grounds.

When we discovered the temple was closed we decided to head for a walk down the street to the ocean and found yet another breathtaking hawaiian beach
