Monday, March 9th
Goodbye SUNday and hello Monday... or Mundane-Day is more like it. Despite the rainy weather, we were running out of days on our schedule, so we decided to forge ahead and hit up the North Shore. We only have five seats in the car, so Heather and I shared the front seat anytime we all went out. Comfy Huh?
Our first stop of the day was Laie point. The hole in the rock is relatively recent, during a big storm, a wave blew the hole out all at once. The picture does not show what we experienced - heavy rains, and choppy waves. It was still cool though, it was our first time checking out the point.
While up North, we met up with Peggy. I don't know her last name, so I will call her Auntie Peggy. She knew Mom and Dad's family when in Hong Kong. She works at the library in Kahuku.
Since it was so rainy and the conditions were poor, we decided to forget the body boarding and just do a car tour of the North Shore. Here's sunset beach, and the weather sure didn't detour our favorite Japanese tourists!
After Sunset Beach, it was over to Laniakea Beach where Sea Turtles come to lounge. There's never been a time that we've been there where turtles weren't lounging away. Plus the sun also broke through for about an hour, and that's when most pictures were taken.
Ashlyn also wanted to put her foot in the water, so Dad took her, but before he knew it a big wave came and hit them. It was funny, nice timing with the picture Nance!
Back to the turtles, here's one, but check out what Dad and Ashlyn are doing. They're building sand castles. So while everyone is looking at turtles, Dad and Ash are over them.
A moment of reflection for Father and Daughter. A classic Asian pose by Dad too.
Next up was shave ice at Matsumoto's. You can't beat the Guava, Mango and Lilikoi combination! Trust me. It's good!
One problem with Haleiwa though... not many bathrooms around. So we made our own. Ashlyn is "feeding" the bushes, not me though can't really see her. Nice. It'll be big and strong the next time we see it!
Business taken care of. Time to go. So it was a fun day, but the weather did change our original plans, but what can you do.
Tomorrow we fly to Hilo on the Big Island! It was something new for us too! Because for all our past visitors who read this blog, I'm sure many of these days are very familiar to the ones we took you on when you came! The next couple days will be brand new though!
