Hawaii #8

We left the quiet Bellows beach and headed into the big city of Waikiki.  It has skyscrapers, and a lot of traffic.  It was kind of neat seeing both sides of the spectrum.  We stayed in a place called Hale Koa.  A resort for government and military employees.  It was super fancy and right on the beach.  We parked the rental car and just stayed there the entire time.  It was nice to not have to fight traffic or crowds.  

Shane had a tarot root pulled pork sandwich and the bun was purple.  

View from our room.

Huge, super old, Banyan tree in the middle of the lobby.

The Hilton, next door to our resort, has fireworks every Friday night that everyone gathers around to watch.  We even got to see a super cool fire dancer, that made me miss the boys and want them to see that.  

After the fireworks we went in and this boat was not even around, when we got up (shane at 5) it was sunk right off the coast.  I bet there were some upset people.

That tall building is our resort and we are sitting on the beach.

Our three handsome boys missed us a lot, but they did really good for their Grandmas.  The homework was the hardest part, because that is the hardest part of being in school right?  Braxton had to write 3 papers the week we were gone, and has not written any since.  I guess that is how life goes.  They all got a necklace and a t-shirt.  Cam got a turtle, Brax a new pair of shorts, and Dakota a ukulele.  We missed them also, but we were on a tropical trip of a lifetime, so maybe not too much.
