We started the day nursing Jennifer back to health. She had a rough night and looked like death this morning. She's a trooper though. Some Sprite, tums, and time made her feel better.
We headed to the North Shore and stopped at the Dole Pineapple Plantation (AKA tourist trap #1). We looked around for about 5 minutes and left. We stopped and got some pizza. Nice hour and 45 minute lunch. We were going to stiff them on a tip, but they included it in the ticket (9 people). Worst service I have seen in a while.
We stopped along the shore and watch the big waves roll in. I took a few pictures. The girls moved up on the rocks just as a huge wave crashed in and would have soaked them if they had not moved.
We went to a second beach, but it started raining. We aborted the beach segment and headed back to Ewa Beach.
I told Angela we would stop for ice cream on the way back. She decided she wanted to "be in charge" and she told me I was not allowed to talk. so as we passed the ice cream stop, she asked if we were going to stop. But I had not been given permission to talk. We learned a lesson today about setting rules and then being able to live with the consequences. BTW Skylar hates me now for skipping ice cream. I'm headed out shortly to get stuff for sundaes. They'll love me again before the night's over.
Also on the way back I heard a commercial for the St. Patty's celebration at Waikiki that we plan to attend tomorrow. I swear they said "Dugan Rapes An Elephant" was playing. If that is really their name, I'm buying the T-shirt!
Enjoy the pics and video. Aloha!
Love that first picture...Angela seems to get along with everyone. Hope Jennifer is feeling better the rest of the trip. I love it when kids think they are in charge and it backfires! Have fun tomorrow. We are headed out to Devil's Den today so won't be able to check out your trip until we get back on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHi, Tom, Jennifer and Angela. I've commented on your blog but can't seem to get it to appear as a comment. Sorry that Jennifer is feeling poorly but she'll make it, as you said she's tough. Your trip looks wonderful and I hope the weather holds for the rest of the week. CO Mom
