Better late than never, right?


Niki Swann


Poor worm :(


I think Jen's earrings were bigger than that fish she caught!

Just thought we'd fill ya'll in on some old stuff from before we left for Hawaii... like these of our red-neck wives, fishin.

So much for art...





Jessie eat your heart out!
This was one of our dates to the North Carolina Art Museum in Raleigh, NC before we left.

Pioneer Plunge


Happy 30th Birthday Jen!



On Jen's 30th birthday of this year we happened to be at Windy Gap and guess who got Blobbed... This you've got to see!

That night we "roughed it" in a cabin up in the woods called Pioneer Plunge. What a way to spend a B-day, no running water, no electricity, but we did have our Mac.

Kahenoe Bay Air Show



5 Blue Angels in formation.

A Huey, the work horse introduced during the Vietnam era.

Those F16 fighter jets are so loud!




Thanks to my father (Jason's), I have acquired a love for planes and flying. As a boy dad use to take us to air shows at Fort Bragg. This day we watched the Blue Angels and wandered the air strip at the Air Force base and toured planes and helicopters.

Amphibian Day at Turtle Bay

Jen's excitement lit up the day.

He (her/it) was very graceful swimming but not so skilled at walking over rocks.

I (Jason) walked right up to it and got within a couple feet. I didn't want to touch it b/c supposedly the bacteria on our skin can affect/infect them.

Past Pipeline and Sunset beaches on the North shore of Oahu lies a Resort called Turtle Bay famous for turtle and whale sitings was where we took a stroll down the beach and found our first sea turtle.

Mokule'ia Wall video



This short film narrated by Jennifer and Jason Haynes and filmed by Jennifer aka "JRod" is an actual rock climbing spot on the North Shore of Oahu called Mokule'ia Wall. There are over 50 different climbing routes for top rope/sport climbing ranging from 5.7 to 5.13a. At almost 2000 ft above sea level, the views are spectacular. Our 180 degree view over looked the north shore, a YMCA camp, a small airstrip where glider planes take off and whirl around us, and field where polo is played on Sundays. Quite a few scenes from "Lost" were also filmed on the beaches below. There is mountain biking and 4 wheeling just up the road as well. Also little did we know that there are such things as "barking spiders" in Hawaii. You have to listen ever so closely toward the end of the clip. Enjoy!

Rock climbing here has incredible views of the Ocean



Amazing views from Makapu'u Point






At Makapu'u Point there is a short 40ft volcanic rock face in which we conquered. This area also has a lighthouse and is very windy.
