Weekend In Waikiki

It was the first full weekend with DeAnna. We chose to go over to Waikiki to stroll the shops and the beach on Saturday. Unfortunately, we did not have time for snorkeling, but I'm sure you're tired of fuzzy, washed-out underwater pictures anyway. Here is DeAnna among the roots/branches of a large Banyon tree on the Waikiki Beach:









Which is the REAL surfer dude? :-)









Another couple out of half a million enjoying the breakwater at Waikiki...









DeAnna and Diamond Head...









This was an observation point on the highway along a VERY rough coastline. That is a huge, crashing wave - the picture doesn't do it justice! That's also a pre-existing sunburn...










On Sunday, we went to Haleiwa to visit my boss and his wife Heidi for dinner. They prepared salmon and crab legs and we toasted a beautiful sunset. Their house is along the North Shore Beach, but the beach is rocky and rough - remember, this is the beach that will see 30 to 50 foot waves in a couple of months! Here's DeAnna standing by a lava formation called the alligator:










We bought some local guide books for the islands and DeAnna is scouring them to help plan our next adventure! Stay tuned for updates!
