Hawaii - Day 3 & 4

Day 3 - Sunday
Sunday us girls got up early and hit the wonderful swap meet. Sometimes I wonder why we still go to it every year. It's the same stuff year after year. This year we realized at certain places people had to have grabbed garbage, old shoes, plates with food still attached, and set them out to sell to people...it boggles my mind. However it's a good laugh for us and a day to get out. We then trusted the trusty old GPS to lead us into town to hit up Friday's for lunch. After leading us to TWO different Friday's....which neither existed, we settled on Hard Rock Cafe for some yummy mac and cheese and potato skins. Can't beat that.
When we got back home we packed up and drove to the North Shore. The news had said the waves were going to be about 30 feet tall and we all wanted to see. We stopped in Haliewa and saw some turtles, and then kept driving to Shark's Cove Beach where we pulled over and got to see these crazy waves. On the way back we hit up Matsumoto's for some snow cones.

Day 4 - Monday
Monday we woke up and got ready to head into Waikiki. We always hit The Cheesecake Factory right on the strip, so this trip was no different. We went in for some yummy lunch and then some shopping on Waikiki Strip.
Our best purchase and new best friend...MR. TURTLE. He now sleeps with Ethan and goes everywhere. This trip was a bit of a new milestone for him...he slept in a big king bed all by himself...and he did great!! Looks like we know what we now need to get him! I've never transferred him because the boy hasn't once tried to ever get out of his crib, so i figured why break the nice jail he's in....but now he's begging for a big boy bed.

Once we got home from Waikiki we couldn't help but throw on our suits and head down to the pool again. Man I want this life FULL time.
