Went to Hawaii to see my sister strapped to the side of a plane. Wait...I didn't go to see HER strapped to the side of a plane... Anyway, although it was f-f-freezing and LOUD, it was free!!!! What a great way to fly.
Everyone stretched out on their blankets and slept. One of the girls said that this is the best way to fly with a baby.
I arrived at around noon, hopped in a rental car and hit the beach. Two turtles came out to welcome me.
We ended the day with dinner at Genki Sushi (a converyor belt sushi place) and the poke was ono!
We got up at 5am to beat the crowds at Hanauma Bay. The first thing we saw, before even seeing any fish, was a large turtle. Despite the fact that it was right next to us, we kept poking each other and pointing to make sure we were seeing the same thing.
We swam with 3 turtles and about a zillion fish. We had the beach mostly to ourselves until about 9am.
Although I don't remember all the details, it's safe to say we ended the day with ice cream. We ended EVERY day with ice cream.
When the beach got old (just kidding) we went hiking. It was so pretty I didn't mind the 50 or so mosquito bites. Plus we ate fruit right from the trees along the path.
One day (all the beach days are blending together) we drove almost all the way around the island. Then we were tired so we had ice cream.
The parking spots were all taken at Waimea beach. So, instead of jumping off the huge rock, we decided to see Waimea Falls and this bird. I think Rachel's trying to give me bunny ears..or maybe she's ordering a double scoop of ice cream...
Rachel, Stephen, Cadence (the dog), and I had a picnic. We ate sandwiches and Cadence ate sand.
Played a little bocci ball before the sun set. Rachel and I kicked butt!
Bye beach! I'm going to bowl, watch a movie, go on a field trip to the mall (with Rachel's students) and pig out at a luau.
