Beach Days
This week was pretty awesome. Since Hubster has been off from work, we’ve done a good amount of exploring and lots of beaching. It’s a nice change from last week, which consisted mostly of the girls and I staring at each other in the hotel. I’m happy to say that I am slowly developing my sweet tan.
Tuesday we made our way to the Ko’Olina lagoons. We were lucky enough to score the first parking space in the lot. When I took out my camera to snap some photos, I realized I had forgotten the SD card in the computer. Boo. We came back to discover that the memory card wasn’t in the computer.
Adri has this little habit of stealing the card from the computer. I’m pretty sure it’s long gone by now. We checked the room, so I think it probably got lost in the sheets on the bed and housekeeping took it. I still have to double check with the front desk to see if maybe it turned up in a washing machine.
Yesterday was a North Shore beach day. Even though we went later in the morning, we were able to once again score the first space in the lot at the Waimea Bay Beach Park. It was by-far our best beach day. We were able to watch two sea turtles come up close to the beach, and a whole bunch of whales/dolphins in the distance. SO COOL!
Wednesday was a shopping day. First we made a trip around Aloha Stadium for the Swap Meet. They had a whole bunch of souvenir stuff for cheap! Lots of key chains, magnets, and jewelry. The four of us got kukui necklaces for a total of $12. I’ve seen them at stores around the island for that much each. I still need to go back to get this awesome Florida one.
We also did some mall-ing and outlet-ing, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. I picked up a new pair of sandals, but that was really it.
I’m not sure what we’ll be doing this weekend, but I’m sure there will be more beaching. As long as there is sun and sand, I don’t ever see myself getting sick of this island. How people can hate being stationed here is beyond me. It sure beats being trapped in the snow. 😉

I just caught up on your blog and I’m so happy that you’re loving it there! It looks SO beautiful! I can’t imagine PCSing that far away, but my husband wants Alaska next so we may be in that boat eventually! Unfortunately we will be headed for snow instead of beaches 😉 Can’t wait to see more photos and hear more about your new home! Are you waiting for on post housing?
I love all the exploring you are doing! 🙂 The adventure is just beginning.
One thing you will always have … sun and sand!! The girls look like they are enjoying themselves! And nice job on the parking space scores! Whoop.

That sandy little butt is too cute! Fall has finally arrived in Augusta, so I’m hopping a plane to come live on your couch.
SO jealous of the beach and warm weather. I would love to be stationed in Hawaii!!
Thank you for the beach pictures….I was warm once for a minute or so. But how awesome for you guys to be at the beach so much. My kids would be in heaven!!
Ko’Olina is our favorite! It’s so kid friendly. We go there a lot for sunset dinner and swims. 🙂
Your pictures are AMAZING! Oh it truly looks like paradise. 🙂 So happy for you, and incredibly jealous at the same time. 😉
Can we just talk about that water for a minute!? It is gorgeous. What a fun time!
I so want to be at the beach now. It’s cold!
Looks like a great way to spend your day! Glad you are loving your new duty station!
Ko ‘Olina is so beautiful. I miss Hawaii!
Ah beach days are the best!! Your girls are so cute 🙂
Oh they’re too cute!
