In the afternoon, we went to Rainbow Drive-In and had a picnic at the park.
Then we visited the Honolulu Zoo. The kids had never been and there was so much to see!
After dinner, we walked back to the hotel and caught the sunset. Ah…so pretty.
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.
RAMEN!!
No trip is complete without a meal at Ramen Nakamura!
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.
San Francisco
We took Yai to the city today.
For lunch, we went to Hog Island Oyster Co. It had been so long since we last went into the city and ate here.
Laguna Beach
We took the kids to Laguna Beach to check out the tidepools today.
Safari Party
We celebrated Janie’s 9th birthday at Auntie Jia’s house today. Auntie Jia and the twins decorated their house so nicely!
It was a safari theme and the boys enjoyed playing with their binoculars.
Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!!
Fell Asleep
We did a lot of laundry today since we just got back from a long vacation. I guess that wore him out. This is how he fell asleep this evening.
Last Day
What a fun week it has been and now it’s the last day in Hawaii for us.
As usual, the kids were up early to have one last dip in the ocean before washing up and packing all our things.
Until next time!!!
Peanut made sure to have his Southwest airplane in hand when we took off.
Teppanyaki
We had dinner with Auntie Yoon, Uncle Kurt, and Trevor tonight. The kids had a front row to the giant volcano fire.
What a fun evening!
