Hawaii: Sailing

This morning we got to Skype the children. I love technology and adore hearing those little voices of there's! We miss them so so much. Today we took the bus to the Aloha Stadium to walk through the flea market and pick up some souveniers for a few dollars less than what they sell for here on the strip of Waikiki. We skipped breakfast to make good time, ended up missing our viewing at the Arizona monument, and decided five days of vacationing is sufficient. Afterwards I was so hungry that I was practically crying as we wondered around for our bus home. Me and being hungry don't do well together. Thankfully I have a patient husband! The market was fun though! I love looking around and checking out little places like that. Ever since going to Costa Rica in grade twelve I have been addicted to traveling and shopping for nick-nacks.  

 

We got back to our hotel just in time to take a dip in the pool and grab a slice of pizza. Mr. Stannix knew better than to ask what kind I wanted and just made that difficult decision for me! Then we headed out to meet up for a sailboat ride. The boat was a little bigger than I was imagining, but it turned out to be super fun!

 

Just after we got out into the deep blue ocean we got to see a few dolphins playing around in the surf. The views were spectacular! This is Diamond Head crater, which we are planning to hike while we are here.

 

I do adore that Mr. Stannix of mine! It's been a fun vacation so far.

 

Mr. Stannix looked pretty handsome in his white shirt! I liked admiring him from my seat on the boat as we pulled into shore.

 

We couldn't have asked for better sailing weather. I love boat rides and the wind rushing through my hair. I love the smell of the ocean air and the light the sun casts around us at dusk.

After sailing we decided to cool off with a dip in the pool. We had a lot of fun together and washed away the worries from earlier that day. Just as we got out, Mike suggested a shower. I was about to tease him about walking passed the shower when his big strong arm shoved me back into the pool. So funny! It was so out of character and surprising, made me smile. Then we cleaned up and went out for dinner. We like to order two different things and share half of it with each other. I love being married to my best friend.
