Oahu Day 3

                We laid low today. Slept in very late, joined up with Grandpa & Grandma, Ken & Judy for breakfast, and then came back to our room. Robert slept for about two hours while I worked on my Awana stuff, did a little work here on the computer, and relaxed watching the Food Network in our room. After awhile, Grandpa called and asked what we were up to, and asked whether we wanted to go with them to the Farmer’s Market at King’s Village later on, watch the changing of the guards, and possibly go see a free show as well. I told him Robert was sleeping, and that I didn’t want to wake him up, but we’d go if he woke up.

                Eventually, he did, and we walked over to King’s Village. On the way, we stopped for Subway, and we were able to get a 32oz. drink filled, with free refills for the rest of the day. (Quite a deal, if you know how much it costs to eat around here!) We walked through the Farmer’s Market, and purchased some more fruit (you just can’t have too much), and then we got some tomato-basil dip mix to take home with us. I also went to the second level of King’s Village and bought my uncle Roy his coveted Hawaii Five-0 shirt. I was even able to speak Japanese with the sales girl, and haggle the price a bit.

Changing of the guards

Such a cool picture. I took it without looking while we were crossing the street!

Waikiki - where most of our time was spent

You can't tell, but I'm trying not to sink. The sand was SO soft!

                Right outside the Farmer’s Market was the changing of the guards. I didn’t get any still pictures; only video. We then decided to go across the street to the Princess Kialani hotel and watch a free music show right next to the pool. On the way, I saw a beautiful bride walking down the street! (pictured below) After that, Robert and I separated from the group and went down to the beach for some late waves. We reunited with everyone on the backside of the SurfRider Hotel (the most beautiful structure here), and listened to some music and watched some hula dancing. After all that, we ended the day with 3 rounds of Skip-Bo in Ken & Judy’s room.
