Thank You Travel Channel!

Because without you, we never would've known to hit up Lanikai beach, the top beach in Hawaii! (according to them of course)

Well, we decided to hit up Hawaii's top beach one gorgeous Saturday afternoon. We usually just got to the beach that's right by our apartment, but after seeing the crystal clear water and hearing that the sand was super fine and powdery, we decided we could drive to the eastern, or windward, side of the island, especially since Ashlyn loves the beach.

There was a few "cons" to going to Lanikai though. There were no showers to rinse off after, there wasn't a whole lot of parking (mainly just parking off the side of the road), and the sand was so fine that it stuck to everything, including Ashlyn's entire body after she face planted in the sand, and yes that is her licking her lips off. Weirdo.
But overall, it was a super day, not a whole lot to see snorkeling wise, but the water was nice and warm and the waves weren't too big so it's definitely good for kids. Just another reason for you to come visit us in Paradise.
And FYI, Lanikai beach is also the beach all the pictures are taken for the "Girls of Hawaii" and "Men of Hawaii" calendars! (PCA, you thinkin' what I'm thinkin?)
and since a post isn't really a post without some video, here's Ashlyn chasing some bubbles, it obviously has nothing to do with the beach, but oh well:
