i can't help myself. look how gorgeous. waves crashing, birds singing, the warmth of the sun on your face at 7:12 am - it's 10:10 am in wasilla right now, and the sun is still not up...
our photog friend, who had done a maternity shoot for us the day before, suggested we check out lanikai. we were sooo thankful for this recommendation. sugar sand, variegated blue water - another gorgeous beach experience.
i'm forever indebted to him for carrying countless floral-print bags.
directly behind us, we spotted some hikers along the ridge line.
i was so envious of their accomplishment and view!
...but, i had a pretty spectacular view from the comfort of my beach towel, too.
plenty of reef for benji to snorkel
after we had our fill of vitamin d, we jumped in the rig for yet another drive. further on down the kalanianaole highway, we pulled off to check out the makapu'u tide pools and light house in waimanalo.
our new years eve was extremely low-key. considering our full day in the sun and on the highway, we had dinner by 5, a movie by 8, and we both could barely keep our eyes open during the drive home. i was asleep by 11, but not before being startled awake by the neighbor's cannon-like fireworks. what we thought was the start of a civil war, turned out to nye celebrations, well into the 3 o'clock hour. we found out the next morning that most on the north shore make their own fireworks. and, we thought the valley was bad...
another fabulous recommendation: dinner at hale'iwa joe's in kaneohe
now that's a slab of prime rib
