North Shore

We drove to North Shore today and visited the turtles. They were surfing in the waves and didn’t feel like napping today.

The shrimp truck was also closed today so we stopped at McDonald’s for a fried apple pie. Janie is big fan!

And you can’t forget the shave ice!

Sunset Sailing

One of the things we tried to do last time was a sunset cruise but they were all booked up! We finally got a spot and it was so fun!

Dada dove off the side of the sailboat and then Janie followed from the stairs.

The ladies at the bottom were cheering her on. She was so nervous but wanted to go out there so badly.

Dada also lived his dream of floating in the middle of the ocean with his baby girl.

On our way back, they hoisted the sail and turned off the motor so we could enjoy the sunset.

The kids were so tired afterward that they skipped dinner and went straight to bed.

Waikiki

In the afternoon, Auntie Yoon dropped us off at the Sheraton Waikiki. When we checked in, the front desk upgraded us to an oceanfront room. WOW!

The kids couldn’t wait to hit the beach so that’s what we did after dropping off our things.

The evening sunset was so pretty from the lanai.

The kids drew their version of our afternoon. So funny. I like how Janie’s drawing is of Dada on the beach saying “This is relaxing.”

We had dinner at the foodcourt nearby and the kids got their first shave ice for the trip.

Off to Hawaii!

We had such a good time in February that we decided to go again for Spring Break. The kids did a countdown leading up to today.

This time, Southwest had a table at the gate in Oakland so we got to register our SafeTravels stuff ahead of time.

We took an evening flight so we got to watch the sunset over the clouds.

Look at the beautiful view of Honolulu as we landed!

With our wristbands, it was like a FastPass through the terminal when we got off the plane. Woohoo!!
