Hawaii - Day 3

Monday May 24, 2010

Today we headed up to the North Shore in the convertible :)
It took a lot longer to get up there than we thought it would but enjoyed the beautiful drive.

We ate lunch at the Grass Skirt Grill (as seen on Rachel Ray's show). The food was delicious!

There were some stands nearby with loads of souvenirs so we picked up a few things to take home. The guy was very friendly and asked us all sorts of questions and then asked if we were Mormons. He cracked a few jokes and then gave me some free jewelry.

We got to the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) just in time to see the island boat parade. We wandered around, watched the guys learn some dances :) and it down poured on us just before we got a picture with the Fiji tribe. So fun!

On our way back we stopped by the famous Matsumotos to get some shaved ice. They were indescribably delicious. Unlike any snow-cone I've ever had!

We stopped off at sunset beach where we wrote in the sand and took some pictures and then made our way back to the resort. The guys snorkeled in the bay while me and Tawny admired the sunset. The sun sets around 7 pm so once it was down we got ourselves cleaned up and ate dinner at Chucks. A 'posh' restaurant on the resort overlooking the ocean. I decided to be daring and tried king crab legs, mahi-mahi, and scallops for the first time. We had a great time dining and laughing with our good friends.
