Sometimes it Rains in Hawaii…
Today didn’t exactly go as planned. We planned to go to Turtle Beach, Hidden Beach, and some places where they filmed “Lost”. However, we woke up to this freak thunderstorm (which was actually kind of awesome) and so the kids played cards for a bit.
We decided we wouldn’t let it ruin our day. So, we headed out into the wet chilliness anyway. We had flashflood warnings and the roads were covered. Then, we got caught in standstill traffic and were there for 40 minutes before we found out it was because of a downed power line with a live wire, so they shut down the road. We were literally 2 minutes from turtle Beach. But its better than risking electrocution so we headed back home for lunch and to regroup.
So, we decided to try out a beach close to our house. Since it was raining and cooler we had the ENTIRE beach/bay to ourselves!! Bob taught the kids how to Boogie Board and they had such a great time! It rained and poured, but they were wet anyway, so it didn’t matter.
We came back, got dressed, and went to tour BYU Hawaii. Such a beautiful campus! The kids are certainly intrigued but not sure they like the idea of not being able to head home when they want to.
We had dinner at “Surfin Tacos” and my new favorite thing is sweet pork tacos! Yummy!
Tomorrow we shall try the Turtle Beach plan again. Wish us luck!
