Memorial Day

Memorial Day. What a memorable day. This is how it went.

6am - got up and ready to leave to go and hike Diamond head. We'd been before but once i got to the top there was this guy selling certificates saying you made it and you can only buy them at the top, and they have the state seal and everything.....but i had no money!!! And i've been determined ever since.
So this was the nice drive there.....


.....and then we realised we had our wallets but our wallets didn't have our cards or any cash in them so we couldn't pay to get in.....

.....and so this is the nice drive back.


10am - too hot and frustrated to go all the way back to town again, we went with our dear friends the Houghtons to castle's beach which was BEAUTIFUL!! We loved it! We swam and soaked up sun and played with sand, some of us ate sand, it was great.


2pm - decided I really did wanted to hike Diamond head and so we got ready, again, and went back to town, again. The hike was good, not as long as we remembered it. Poor Tui had to carry Malachi up. The view was beautiful.


Then we walked around Waikiki for a bit, and ended up at the Ala Moana beach park for the Lantern floating. They had great entertainment, the weather was amazing, and the whole thing was just cool, although the pictures from my little camera just don't do it justice.




It was a long day. But a great day. A memorial day......
