Hawaii So Far

Tuesday, my parents, Ryan, and I landed in Honolulu, Hawaii. We only spent the day wandering aimlessly around the little bit of town we will call 'home' for the next few days. We didn't do anything exciting, but I did get to spend a little bit of time playing on the shore of Waikiki. But, it wasn't too sunny out at the time, and I wasn't actually getting into the water, so it was a -little- lame.

Then, around...9:30? Maybe? Rabenstrange and Trebonte decided to show up as well to spend the night with us before heading to their hostel.

So, Today, we took off about 12:30pm in search of a sandy beach to laze and splash around.... We spent about a total of 30 minutes actually chillin' at a beach.

My dad kind of surprised us by stopping off at Diamond Head, to hike .8 miles up to the top lookout. No body told me I would have to climb up steep steps, then go through a long, dark, terrifying tunnel, and not to mention it was starting to warm up. But, I am -very- glad I complete the trek for the view was worth it, and I did feel quite good after the ordeal.

Then we were off to find the beach! Well, more like, we drove around and looked at houses... and took pictures... of houses... Then made our way to Costco for water... and a pizza that took 30 minutes to make. We spent a good hour at Costco, picking up a case of bottle water. This lead to finding our beach around 5 o'clock, where the sun started to go down, and the boys became wimps and began to freeze. So, we came home to relax.

All in all, I had a good day.
