Celebrating Two Wonderful Years!

Alex and I have been married for two years now, the best two years of my life. It really does feel like yesterday that we said our "I do"s and started our lives together.

After signing the papers in Monterey, CA. July 6th, 2009.

To celebrate this year we decided we would take a trip down to the Dole Plantation and have a look around. When we got there we decided to do the train and garden tours but we had to pass on the maze due to the rain but we plan on going back!

The train tour was very informative. It was an automated tour that explained the history of the pineapple business in Hawaii as well as how and when the pineapples are harvested.

After the train tour we just had to get our pictures taken as well...pineapples!

Next we went and did a walk through the plantation garden. This garden was full of beautiful plants and flowers. There was an audio tour that we could have gotten to go with the garden but we decided to just walk on our own and chat. In the garden there was a pond in the very center that was filled with huge koi! We were able to feed the fish and watch them go nuts over the food.

In the garden was Alex's new favorite tree. He likes this tree so much because if you didn't know better you would say it is fake, it looks hand painted.

 After strolling around the garden for a bit we went inside to get a little lunch. After lunch we walked around the gift shops looking at all to cool little nick-nacks they had for sale. We did end up getting a fresh pineapple which I can't wait to get into! To top off our outing to the west side of the island we drove up along Kamehameha Highway which runs along the shore all across the north end of the island. It was a beautiful drive and we plan on doing it again!

I am so blessed to have Alex as my husband, he is my best friend. And I am looking forward to spend many more years with this man. I love you Alex and thank you for two amazing years!
