babymoon, hale'iwa & waimea bay

we decided there had been enough time spent on the other side of the island.  we drove a few miles up the highway to hale'iwa for breakfast at kono's and some shopping.


across from ted's bakery, we walked through a neighborhood and fell onto this gorgeous beach.  ben thought i was being venturesome, but i had been to the beach before - with jb when he was 15 months old.  i wanted to bring ben here with thought of being on the exact beach with both my boys. 

REWIND:
doesn't the sand on my fingers and the sand on baby jack's face look similar?




ben could not get over the chaos of the power lines in hawai'i.  we never drove far without him commenting on the utter mess and lack of organization.  i had to capture at least one of the poles because it was very much a discussion during our vacation.  the man is a lineman through and through.


within the hour, the weather changed.  more clouds rolled in, and the sky opened up.  we were thankful for our early start to the day - to enjoy the little blue sky we were blessed with during our morning.

on this day, there were to be 30-40 foot waves, and therefore, the annual "eddie would go" surf competition could take place.  well, the waves didn't appear (at the desired height) so neither did the eddie - 2009 was the last year the competition was held.

it was rather blustery, but still, dudes were out in the surf, hoping to catch something.  we watched for a while, but eventually succumbed to the rain.  i think we went to the movies (twice) on this day.
