Wickedly Awesome!

Waimea Bay

Started the morning heading to Waimea Bay. We were going to hike to Waimea Falls but they weren’t open yet so we decided to hit the beach. Waimea Bay is absolutely incredible!! We were swimming by 8:00 and it was heavenly.

Waimea Falls

We opted out of the hike, but got some awesome souvenirs including matching flowers for the girls! We saw this beautiful peacock and a peacock even in the tree!

A taste of Hawaii

We stopped by a roadside fruit stand and got some amazing pineapple and a papaya to try for dinner.

A tour of the Windward Side

We took the scenic coastal route to go sight seeing. We saw so many beautiful things. We went to Kailua Beach which was voted as one of the Best Beaches of America. It was GORGEOUS!! You wouldn’t believe the color of the water! The kids were in heaven for hours!

Wickedly Awesome!

Ok, so I have found my favorite place so far!!! It is at Laie Point. This GREAT book was recommended by a friend (thanks Patty!) that tells all the fun out of the way places. So, we found out about this cool rock that looks like an arch because in 1946 a killer tsumani tore through the actual stone! So, we went to check it out. It is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen. When you walk down to the point across the water from the arch, the water comes in so strong it splashes up. We plan to go back because it was amazing!!!!
