anticipation

Slept in. 

When we did wake up, we enjoyed a breakfast of bagels and cream cheese and yogurt...all purchased by mom. 
Then we gathered our things and drove to Hanauma Bay.

Manoa falls ... twice

When we hiked Manoa falls the man of the entry said it was muddy and less we park the car and start working at the trail it was wet. We hiked to the top and saw the waterfall. It was spectacular. Linda and Emily wanted me to take her picture so I sent my water bottle down on the wooden bench and Emily handed me her camera. Certainly it slipped and it was just about to fall out of my hand. I barely cottage and was much relieved that I didn't fall to the ground and get broken. I took the picture and we began our dissent. It was a little slippery or going down, But we made it. As the parking lot came interview Linda asked me where is the backpack that you had? And we said were you trying a water bottle or something? That's when I realize that I had left my water bottle at the top so I decided to hike back up to the Falls and we can set up to go with me and we hiked top speed. When you're when we arrived at the top, the water bottle was still there and I was very happy. We descended lickety-split and that was that.

Walked around Waikiki Beach and got Pina colada with Emily.
​
Dukes for dinner. We sat on the lanai under grass-covered terrace to the beach. The view was spectacular, the atmosphere was just the way I remembered it. Steven loved this place as a boy. Eating there brought back so many special memories.
