In the North Shore, there is an acceptance of "No shirt, no shoes, no skirt, no problem." Things are different here. Everything moves faster. Even Milena could feel it, so she held on to Mandy for dear life.
Just kidding - she just wanted to give Mandy a hug. As fast paced as it is, I'd still live here in heartbeat.
There's a break wall to make it real safe and fun for kids...and also to play water polo on surfboards.
After some fun in the water and in the stores, we hit the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Not authentic Hawaiian, but definitely easy to please everyone in the crew.
This town is really beautiful and everything is in pristine shape. While trying to let the ladies have a drink in peace, we traveled up and down a few escalators and ended up here.
Leila is really feeling the sophistication of Waikiki
From the first bus we saw here, Ethan couldn't wait to get on one and ride it around. There were many trolley buses and all but one of them were Japanese speaking tours. I like a good adventure but this one seemed out of reach. I was told "the Pink Line" double decker bus would take us around for $2, so we hopped on.
We returned to meet up with the ladies happily getting thrown around by the waves, right in front of the Royal Hawaiian - the first place we stayed at during our honeymoon on Oahu.
Milena was having a rough time, so we all had some non-dairy frozen banana things that were pretty delicious. Jen and Rowyne (correctly) figured they were too healthy, so they went up the street for some ice cream options.
(there's always money in the banana stand)
We did a bunch more shopping, then head home later than usual. The kids were so exhausted from all of the waves (and walking) that they fell asleep really quickly.
