Here are some of our favorites but be sure to visit our YouTube channel for a complete rundown. #hawaii #waikiki #hawaiivacation #oahu #honolulu
Last week we got to do a Jeep tour @kualoaranch an Last week we got to do a Jeep tour @kualoaranch and without a doubt this view over the valley was my favorite moment. That and being caught in a torrential downpour and having Henry laugh SO HARD at the ponchos (I get it, I look ridiculous but I’m the only dry one).
