Show us your life - Favorite Vacation Spot

I'm so excited today to share about our favorite vacation spot! We LOVE the beach and I'm pretty confident we will never go on a winter or cold vacation ever! Ha! I hate the cold and I am so happy to be on the beach and near the water!

My favorite vacation ever is of course our honeymoon to Hawaii! We went to Hawaii in July '06 and it was absolutely AMAZING! It's my favorite place in the world! We did a cruise so we boarded in Honolulu, Oahu and traveled to Maui, Kona on the Big Island and Kauai. My favorite island was Maui! We have decided when we go back we are going to Maui! It's gorgeous!

In Maui we got up super duper early in the morning to drive to the top of a volcano and watch the sunrise then we biked down the volcano! It was absolutely amazing and I would do it again! So much fun!

We saw this absolutely beautiful lighthouse on the coast of Kauai! Kauai had to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever been! Everything is so green and lush! We would love to go back there too!

On our last day in Hawaii we took a helicopter tour of Oahu! I am so glad we did the helicopter tour and would definitely do it again! It was just amazing! We cannot wait to go back to Hawaii! Hopefully one day soon!

To celebrate our first year of marriage we jetted off to San Diego, California in June '07. San Diego is so beautiful and warm. I loved going to Coronado island, the San Diego zoo and SeaWorld.

The weather there is so wonderful! It's warm during the day and it cools off during the night! I would love to take Ryan one day to San Diego. He would love it!

In June '08 we spent a week in Las Vegas! It was HOT, HOT, HOT but it was a great vacation! It was our last vacation before kids! We had a blast visiting all the casinos on the strip, doing a little gambling and eating some fantastic food!

My favorite part was the Bellagio Hotel Fountains! We watched them many nights and I would just stand there in awe! It was amazing and so cool to watch.

We also took a day trip to Hoover Dam while in Vegas. Definitely a sight to see and visit!

Last August we took our first vacation as a family of three! We enjoyed the sun of Myrtle Beach, SC. We had beautiful weather the whole week and we all loved hanging out on the beach!

Ryan loved crawling on the shore. Like all kids he had to try his first taste of sand. Thankfully he realized it wasn't good.
We had the best time vacationing with our friends the Weavers! Katie, Adam and Lillian Grace were so much fun and we hope to have many years of vacationing with them. Ryan and Lillian Grace had the very best time and loved playing in the sand!
Just last month we had our 2011 family vacation to St. George Island, FL. We vacationed with the Weavers and our friends the Tichy's. We had sooooo much fun and it was an incredible week! St. George was gorgeous and we would definitely go back.

We rented a house right on the beach and that was the best decision we made. It was amazing to step outside and watch the waves. So neat that we were just steps away from the beach. So worth it!

Ryan loves the beach and his favorite part is playing the waves and collecting sea shells.

St. George Island was absolutely gorgeous and we hope to go back again! Such a nice secluded beach just perfect for families!
We have loved all our vacations but definitely our favorite place in the world is Hawaii! I dream about going back and hopefully taking our kids one day!
