honeymoon, part 1 (oahu)

hi friends – the blog is starting up again – hallelujah!

it’s been a two year hiatus, but the best two years of my life! 

while i continued to cook and travel and try new restaurants and collect cookbooks, 

i also met the love of my life and got married in February (holla!)

now that life has settled down a bit, i’m excited to be back
online sharing all the usual stuff with you guys –
recipes, adventures, top ten lists and various inspiration.

i’ll start with a little catch-up…. recapping our HONEYMOON!

our basic honeymoon philosophy was as follows:

*go as long as possible (we chose 2 weeks)

*go somewhere you can do as much as you want or as little as you want (hawaii)

*make zero plans prior to arriving (which was surprisingly easy for us!)

we spent week one on Oahu and week two in Kauai. here is the week one in recap:

waikiki beach

moana surfrider, one of my favorite hotels on the strip

date night. (is that every night on your honeymoon?)

shopping (at kate spade, of course!)

hiking diamond head

beach day at my fave beach, lanikai beach

the aftermath of lunch at giovanni's shrimp truck

waimea valley and falls

what most days looked like :)
