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.

Our Lanai

What a spectacular view we have this time around. We love hanging out on the lanai when we are taking a break from the sun. This morning, Janie did a Facetime call with her friend Maya and shared the view with her.

We love the renovations they made last year complete with new furniture and flooring.

Morning Walk

One of Peanut’s favorite things to do is wake up early to take a Mommy-only walk to the ABC Store.

Today, we picked out a pair of sunglasses for him and got some Spam musubi for a morning snack.

We also stopped at Starbucks for some coffee for Mama. Peanut happily waited outside with this snack.

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.

Morning in Kailua

Auntie Yoon picked us up from the airport last night and we slept over at her house. The kids loved playing with Trevor and had McDonald’s for breakfast.

We also went to the Farmer’s Market nearby and picked up lunch.

Later in the day, we went to the park/school yard behind their house to play on the playground and fly a kite.

What a nice way to relax on our first day in Hawaii. Thank you to Auntie Yoon and Uncle Kurt for hosting us!
